Default How many Sway Bar Links are in Lexus ?

I have Lexus ES350 2010 with 165k miles. Planning to replace its Sway Bar links. I do see two, one each for the front tires.
Does this Lexus also has Sway Bar links for two rear tires?
Other than OEM part, any other brand which you all recommend?

If you are in an area where they salt the roads, you may have a lot of rust and need to cut off the old links. The ones in the photos don't look too bad.

Always soak them with PB Blaster a few times over a few days before attempting to remove them. For end links aftermarket is just as good and cheaper than OEM. Some have grease fittings, which you don't need. I used some aftermarket ones on my RX350 when replacing the front struts and I had to cut off the old links with a grinder!

Look on youtube for other creative ways to destroy and remove old sway bar links. However if not replacing struts too you may have to do this at each end of each sway bar end link. Sometimes just getting Channel locks on the other side allows a good enough grip to unscrew the nut. Or hammering the ball joint into destruction so you can get a grip or pop it apart.

I would just leave them alone until they break or make a lot of noise.
