In seeing what it takes to replace the entire bar I would be inclined to try
and weld it. I would make sure that you get someone who can really weld. I
would check with companies that do it all the time. Putting reinforcing
tubing over the weld might give you some extra satisfaction. Of course it
must be exactly the right length and parallel to the old bar but a good
welder should be able to accomplish that. Those bars must be quite stout
and made of good steel and the weld will be stronger than the bar. I was
looking at replacing the firewall bushings and have hesitated just for the
reason of access.

I think the chance of success is about the same as welding a broken coil
or leaf spring! The anti-sway bar has a LOT of force applied to it as
the car moves over uneven surfaces.
