Swaybar links, expecially the rear links can be reused as long as they do not feel loose or noticeable tears in their protective grease boots. The rear swaybar is so wimpy thin on this SUV, the links should last for life of the car.

Mine had major play in them and were completely shot at 161k. They probably should have been replaced at 120k to be honest, but I didn't own it then.
Individual experiences may vary..thats why i qualified with 'should'. Inspect and replace if needed.
Ours had 155k on it, not terribly far off from 161k and still good condition. The boots were good and no play.
I had to trash one because the 5mm hex threads were damaged during the attempt to remove.
