I am working on replacing all of the rear bushings in my sister's 1997 4WD pathfinder to fix the inherent death sway but I cannot find anyone that makes aftermarket polyurethane split rear bushings for the 1996-2004 pathfinders.

I bought some Energy Suspension front bushings for my 1975 Datsun earlier this year and they were a breeze to slip in. Cost me a total of $60 for parts and pressing out the old ones. Figured I could save my sister around $1200 by doing them myself instead of her taking it to a dealership but I can't find any bushings for it, not from Energy Suspension, Prothane, or Daystar.

I know Energy Suspension has a universal bushings kit but I need to know the dimensions of the rear trailing/control arms and I don't have a caliper to get the precise measurements. It looks like all 8 rear bushings are the same dimension too so if anyone happens to know which one of the bushings on the following chart from ES they are, I would be most grateful.

What did the rest of you do to your rear bushings to fix the death sway? I'm open to suggestions except installing factory style bushings.

You can get them from 4x4parts.com:

I did previously find that blue beveled set however I specifically want the split bushings, they are much easier to install and save a lot of time.

I did find the split ones on the same site thought they are noticeably pricier than the set I got for my Datsun despite being nearly identical, $155 vs $32 [my Datsun set also came with grease, these do not].

OK...try these:

Those appear to be the right type but what is with the massive price difference? $180?, more than 5x the cost of the set I bought for my Datsun for the same parts with a slightly different diameter.

these are all split design

also try using rear control arm or rear trailing arm in google search terms rather than sway bar
