Any idea what this might cost? I looked up parts and only the bracket base (back) can be purchased, the actual bracket (front) seems to come only with a brand new sway bar. Also it looks like the part of the subframe where the sway bar is attached is bent, I hope this can be repaired and not require a whole new subframe. Does anyone have experience with this kind of repair?

Put it back together then visit a collision shop for an alignment, if possible.

The subframe you can find on eBay or at a junkyard. I think it's about $300-$400 and over $1000 at a dealer. I actually had to replace the plate on the subframe connecting the steering rack to the subframe but it didn't come separately, the old one rusted out. Got it at a pick and pull but the lowest price I got quoted at a local junkyard was about $200 for the subframe. As others said, you might just be able to bend the subframe back, probably a lot in labor to replace the subframe. The sway bar basically comes as one assembly as the bushings are glued on so you can't just replace the bushings. If you hit something maybe you can claim it on your insurance.
Called all the local junkyards on this list. Several of them said they'd look and call me back. None of them did.
