Sway bars failed and are expensive to replace. Mechanic says that he is replacing alot of them on Dodge products and that it is a case of poor engineering. Bill $200 for both sides and he said to expect them to continue going bad -- since there are no other aftermarket manufacturers making these parts he must replace them with Dodge branded oem.
