I just inspect a my 350z and said that my rear link is bented....
which it will cost me about $600-$700 from dealer.....
someone told me that just get a good sway bar and there will be no problem..
so what's the best option to me to fix my car???
should i just get good sway bar or just replace a rear link??
if i want to replace a rear link myself....is it hard to replace it????

If it's just the sway, it's easy to replace and a lot cheaper to buy an aftermarket one to dyi.

How did you rear link get bent? Accident or faulty part that was never replaced that caused this?

i got it from used car lot at dealer...and of course i didn't know it was bented..
when i found out, dealer told me the warranty is only on powertrain.....
which is not cover by warranty....
and the reason why i went to shop again is, i ran over the f***ing big bump and makes grinding sound.....sounds like tire problem...and went to shop, my another link(left side)is bented....hate to drive in washington state...always having construction all over the road!!! anyway..plz help me choose....do i have to change a rear radius arm??or get a sway bar?

If your rear link is bent, repair the rear link.
Sure you can go take a shortcut, but if it's bent, it's bent, no sway bar is going to straighten it out.
Just call a different mechanic to confirm that it is a rear link before you drop the cash.

+1, its as simple as that. try going to a private mechanic, as opposed to a dealer, they usually will not charge you to look at something and give you an estimate. don't be lazy about it, its a Z. not a f*cking civic.
