    Anybody with basic mechanical ability should be able to do the job. More importantly is why do you want to change them??? Is your car overstearing badly?? Otherwise Any suspension change like that should be in conjunction with springs and shocks to suit.

    I'm saying that they all work together as a system. All the parts have to work together well otherwise you could make the car worse than it was before. If the sway bar is broken then replace it (this is highly unusual unless you hit something though). If you are unsure, take your car to a suspension specialist who can diagnose the problem (if there is one) properly.

    you've got about 40 different things that can cause your car to drift left to right and back again.

    your swaybar is probably the LEAST likely of all of them to do this.

    take your car to a suspension place that DOESN'T have an employment agreement with the local spastic society...
