This post represents a humorous timeline of my work history. I used to work at a stabilizer bar factory, and currently hold down a part time, second job delivering pizza. Lol.
Anyway, most of the time stabilizer bar failures are not due to failure of the bar but the fasteners. If you only had 30K miles on the bar and it is that rusted I'm seriously doubting that the paint was applied correctly. It was almost certainly powder coated improperly, hence there really ought to be some sort of recourse from your supplier.

Bummer!
The rust doesn't look good, but I don't think it's the cause.

I'm going to have to agree with Darin. It looks like a fatigue failure, not rust.
