Broken sway bar

About two days ago I noticed my car would wobble a lot while I was on the freeway. Almost lost control once (kind of scary). I checked my the bottom of my car and noticed my sway bar was broken from the right side. Is this bad? Could it be the reason for me almost losing control?

Yes, that is bad. Get a larger diameter sway bar.

I ordered a suspension techinque sway bar from streetbeatcustoms for $132. They take forever to ship though! I heard that if you don't have sport springs it will end up breaking again due to it flexing too much? Is that true?

Oh and will i need new bushings since i'm putting a bigger sway bar? I think thats what they are called.

I have never taken a sway bar off before but it looks simple. Do I need a special way to take it off?

It's pretty straightforward.
