Unless you have been hit by a Mack truch bars are rather indistructable but the bushings and links do go bad and can easily be replaced. Or are you reffering to the struts? That's a bit harder

thanks for the advice, but I may be able to replace the links, since I did change the ones on my old dodge Caravan, not sure about the bushings you mentioned on my 2001 Mazda. I once owned an old 626 25 years ago but never had to change any sway bar links on it.
cheers.
