Swaybars

Postby BMXPath » Wed Feb 04, 2009 11:19 am

V6 and V8 R51's have different swaybars, at least on the front. Anyone know the diameter of the V8 front swaybar?
I have the V6 model and the front is 1 1/8 inches (28.5mm).

Thanks.

I am hoping someone with a V8 PF can measure their front bar... A bigger front bar in our V6 models might help the handling...

That's a very good line of thought...

That is why I asked... :wink: I wanna put the bigger bar on my V6. Curious what size it is because if I do it, I may as well go with urethane bushings too.

ragpaoa,
Any measurements yet?

I thought the PF handles great. I would like for the quick disconnect for mine.

Is 28.5 mm the diameter or the circumference?

Not sure if Nissan changed the size of the stabilizer bars from '05, but...'09 Pathy spec on NissanUSA site says...

Front stabilizer bar: 33.0 mm for V6 and 34.0 mm for V8.
Rear stabilizer bar: 25.4 mm for both.

I just measured the front sway on my 2005 V6 and it is 33mm.
