I know the book says that it should take 1.6 hours to replace the swaybar, is this reasonable? Should it take more time? I was charged $297.00 by the dealer. @ $85.00 per/hr this comes out to be 3.4 hrs.
If all they did was change the sway bar end links and then aligned the steering, then the $164 you paid for parts, labor, and alignment is okay.
If they would have changed the sway bar, then you should expect to pay a pretty penny. Changing that is a major PITA.
