OK, I wasn't being completely scientific either and to say they wear out "like" each other wasn't exactly precise. The fact remains, a sway bar does wear out after a lot of flex(mileage) and therefore, as mentioned, it depends on how the vehicle is being driven. if you are mostly driving on highways/country roads, you may never experience a wear on the sway bar no matter what the mileage. But if you are flexing that thing on a daily basis on surface streets, urban blocks with lots of turning, swaying, etc, etc, the bar will wear out faster - but wear out nonetheless. Yes, it will probably outlive everything else on the car, and most likely the car itself...

I have never seen nor heard of one wearing out.

The exception is the front on a benz and I have heard of several that the end broke off of. But its a part of the suspension so its loading is different.
