Rear sway bar links rusted and broken. Colonial toyota wants to charge $398 for replacement while it only costs around $50 for the part. Thus, two complains. 1. Manufacturer toyota should cover the defective parts replacement via recall as this complain is widespread. 2. Toyota should require dealer to not charge outrageous amount for this and cover the cost.
