Unfortunately the other day while under the 7 looking around the front suspension I found something disturbing.
The front anti-sway bar was disconnected from the suspension arms and it looks like the mounting points are
worn from the slapping of the bar on them while driving so it doesn't look good for hooking it back up without
finding new mounting points to put into the suspension arms.
While I'm looking for those plus all the bushings and stuff, how does a 7 react with one connected? Will I notice
a big difference with it connected back up when going through the tight corners? Right now it oversteers like crazy through the corners with just a touch of acceleration, but I thought that was like any other stock rear wheel drive vehicle...

If it was the back one, I would say leave it off (many people remove perfectly good working ones.)
The front one is important to have. Go to a welding shop and see if they can reinforce or "tack on" some new reinforcement points to the original locations.
Changing the mounting locations could have adverse effects to your handling.
