Pretty much requires an in-shop diagnosis. So not a lot of options here. Maybe … - Double check w/dealership, part might still be under warranty, may be a useful tsb, customer-service bulletin, recall, etc… - Pay another mechanic for a second opinion. ---

ON a 2019? I doubt it. find a new mechanic. maybe sway bar links. they are pretty cheap and usually easy to replace. ---

Swaybars themselves very rarely need replacement… swabar LINKS as @weekend-warrior mentioned, fairly commonly need replacement. ---

Even more common (and cheap): sway bar bushings. What symptoms, under what circumstances? ---

> [@Paulk01](#): > > We now think this was a bogus claim from AutoMax There must have been a complaint that inspired the recommendation to replace the stabilizer bushings or links, which ever was the problem. ---

What are the symptoms that led you to take it back to the dealer? All the parts on a 2019 should be original equipment. ---

AutoMax in Norman, OK **_They had to replace two transmissions under warranty. Sent us an unexpected notice that the sway bars needed to be replaced. I think they were looking for some money back. Had a different mechanic test drive and he could find no problems, so we’re holding off._** **_Paul Konigmacher_** ---

That sway bar diagnosis sounds suspicious to me, too. ---

Sway Bars are just that, steel bars, and while the linkages and bushings some times require replacement not so the bars themselves. Do you hear a “clunking” going over bumps" or on hard turns?" Check the bushings and linkages first and look for a new mechanic.
