The front swaybar is 20mm, and they do not make a bigger one. As head up, for a FWD car you'd actually want a smaller FSB to eliminate understeer.

The Maxima does not come with a rear swaybar from the factory. The Addco bar is about 22mm I believe, the same size as the Stillen one.

You can buy polyurethane FSB end-link, FSB mid-bar, and control-arm bushings. Most people only have the FSB bushings because the control-arms are very difficult to replace and cause a lot of vibration.

Check again. Look up under the beam and you'll see a 38mm sway bar inside. The bar is then welded to the trailing arms.

And dont forget about those new connectors that warpspeed is making. What were they called radial arm supports or something like that.

Yes, the rear beam technically does have a sway bar inside (as do all the Nissan cars with the beam rear suspension, I think... the SE-R Spec V is 38mm too), but it doesn't exactly do enough. Hell it doesn't do much, the Maxima understeers like a pig... which is why we buy the Addco or Stillen rear sway bar.
