Default wrong control arm?

as long as the control arm bolted in fine.. you should be safe to drive. i would disconnect the swaybar link from the other control arm so you don't risk the end of the swaybar hitting the control arm in a corner..

once the remaining link is undone, you should just be able to push the sway bar out of the way and just leave it.

Yeah, no problems. You'll just have more body roll If you plan to get the correct arm, leave the swaybar in. If you don't care, you may want to remove it but it isn't necessary.
