FRONT SWAY BAR QUESTION???

I GOT a 93 gxe. The front sway bar on it looks like its hanging extremly low for some reason. I look at other maximas and they dont look as obvious as mine does. It kinda creaks when going over bumps, would replacing the bushings and those two rubber things in the middle of the bar have any effect? Or would getting one off of an SE be better?

SE is the same as GXE for the front bar. rear bar is better on the SE tho.

you might have broken one of the mounts in the middle tho, if it's hanging... just check the 2 body mounts and make sure nothing broke. might as well do endlink bushings and mount bushings (and maybe endlinks) if the rubber is getting soft.

Go to Jegs and buy bushings for the 90's era (fox body) Mustang.
