"Sway bars loose", effort required ?

Folx,

02 Q45

Dealership, during a checkup, told me that car's sway bars are loose. Can I replace them myself or is it an involved effort requiring special tools ?

No there shouldnt be any special tools required. The rubber on the links that mount to lower control arm gets worn out, as well as the rubber in the mounts.

The parts look specialized so you cant use the energy suspension parts, but I have only know about the first gen. I would think replacing these parts shouldnt take more than an hour, but man those parts seem awfully expensive.
