Replacing the Front Swaybar
My front sway bar broke at the end where it mounts to the links. So The whole bar needs to be replaced.
Is it as easy as removing the two bushing mounts on both sides and sliding the long bar out and replacing?
When I looked at it quickly last night it looked like it maybe went over the subframe or something.
Let me know if its as easy as I think it might be, or actually more work than just the two bushing and putting new end links on.
Thanks,

Swaybars can sometimes be easy. Jack up the front, remove a wheel on one side, remove the brackets and see if it can slide out. If not you may need to drop the the subframe a little. Used parts should be cheap on ebay as the bars usually don't go bad. Just get one the same thickness as what you have now.

To be honest, this 2004 RX330 is the worst car I have ever owned, its literally problem after problem after problem, Never had these issues with my other cars like 96 es300, 91 ls400, 95 toyota avalon and a 99 gs300. I will never purchase an RX again after havin this one.

the front sway bar is straight forward. I helped a buddy who also has an RX330, change out his suspension. the front sway bar is just bolt on, and if you look at it, it should be self explanatory. It would be the easiest if you jack up the front end, take both wheels off and have at it.
