Sway bar bushings and end links are usually low cost parts and easily replaced. The question is, did you bend the sway bar when you drove over the curb?
No it looks like the right passenger side is out of place. The rubber part around the sway bar cracked but I will have to take another look if the sway bar is actually bent. If it is, does all of the parts need to be replaced? (Sway bar, bushings, end links) and how long do you think the labour would cost me? I just moved and don't know a repairman that can give me advise. Thanks for your help
Not totally familiar with your car, but a sway bar replacement including end links shouldn't be much more than 1 hour labor. I would also recommend you get an alignment. Sway bar doesn't really affect alignment, but running over curbs does. Getting the alignment checked may save you some worn out tires.
I would replace both sway bar mounting bushings as well as both end links. A good alignment shop could give you a quick estimate.
