Description of the problem	I have owned a 2002 toyota tundra 4x4 since 2002. In july of this year i experienced a near wreck when i hydroplaned and was unable to regain control. When i tried to gain control i felt as if the truck was going to roll and i was forced to drive off the highway. Although i did not collide with anything i did have some damage to the rear axel with noises coming from it. The next day i took the truck to a local garage to inspect the vehicle and they found nothing. Not stopping there i crawled under and i found a broken link bolt on the right front sway bar. Upon inspection of the link bolt i found that the link had rusted to less than half of it's original diameter which lead to its failure. Taking this issue up with a toyota dealer i had them repair both sides of the sway bar links. When the left link was removed it too was found to be broken. The design of the links are such that water and road salt can settle in the bushings causing them to rust. The broken links are likely why i was unable to regain control of my vehicle and caused damage to the rear end gears and axle. I have had this vehicle in for safety inspections on numerous occasions and nothing was found to be wrong. If professional technicians can't detect this problem than how can an owner and how can these owner's feel safe with these undetectable problems. I have saved these parts and feel that they are worthy of closer inspections.
