Default uh oh...

So I was driving down the street today I hear a clicking sound this is what I saw it's the rear track bar I believe and I got buddy who can weld it, but I gotta drive about 40 miles to get there is it safe to drive if I take that off and drive it up to him?

What type of spring spacer is that? I've never seen one that goes under the spring.

Rear track bar just keeps the axle from hopping all over, limits its side to side movement. I think he should be fine. Definitely a drive i wouldn't want to make though
