are you refering to the 5/16" bolt with 4 rubber bushings? 2 on each end? If so, cut them. Everything you need will come in kit. Bolts, bushings and sleeves.

That is strange. Typically you are looking for bushings. but sometimes the links, washers, bolts and nuts need replacement also. Moog makes what you need, aftermarket and the dealer sells what you need. I prefer aftermarket, it usually lasts longer.
Try another parts store, what you seek should be in suspension parts...

The vehicle sways on turns. Cause may be either stabilizer bars or struts.
if it sways to much on turns its your stabilizer bar. reduces the amount of body roll, or lean, that a vehicle experiences during cornering. some cars have a sway bar in back, as well as the front. and some cars have just a front sway bar. There can also be an audible "clunk" or "click" as you go over bumps, if it is broken. good-day !

Can I drive a Pontiac Grand Prix with a broken rear stabilizer safely?
By rear stabilizer, do you mean trailing arm or sway bar? If you have a busted trailing arm, I highly advise against driving. This is the bar that runs from the wheel hub transversely toward the front of the car and attaches to the frame. However, a busted rear sway bar, which runs transversely across the vehicle and runs along side the leaf spring, isn't as severe of an problem. You will just run into spongy turning issues.
