Sway bar removal

What would happen if i removed my sway bar? It has already backed out the the stock bolt holding it in several times, put a grade 8 with one nut then a stover nut and finaly mangling the remaning threads. The bracket snapped right below the bolt. Welded the bracket to high hell, broke right below the weld. now it moves around freely again.

Your handling would't be as level around corners although some have removed it and not noticed much. Then again, if it backs the bolts out, thats one thing, but if the bracket keeps breaking I'm wondering why that could be... Are we talking front or rear?
