What's the part called that the sway bar links go into?
 

I've been trying to figure out what the part's called....

Where the sway bar end link goes into, mine looks crappy and would like to replace it because everything else is new.

LCA (Lower Control Arm) or the sway bar itself.

Ok, I got new control arms, so the sway bar.

Could that make my car pull to a direction? (I've gotten an alignment, new inner/outer tie rods, and new tires)

Man, I cannot find the part...

Are you referring to the link that connects the end of the sway bar to the lca?

That is called the sway bar end link and you can buy repair kits at just about any auto parts store.

here is a sample link:

Nah, I assume I'm talking about the sway bar. I have new end links and lca's, the sway bar would be the only thing left correct?

I cannot find anyone selling them....

The sway bar is part 54611 in this diagram

For replacement I would purchase a used bar at a local JY. That long bar has high S/H prices.

If you prefer a new one then it would cost somewhere over $100

Sweet, jholley. Thanks!

While replacing that sway bar install new bushings on it. Its part 54613 in the diagram. You can order nissan 54613-0e015 bushings or get a cheaper set at your local parts store.

Take note that the sway bar along with their bushings differ for the SE than for the GXE and GLE. Let us know your model?

It's an SE

Then this sway bar 54611-31U00 and bushings 54613-0E015 will be fine.

What that do if I did replace that? Better steering?

I had two alignments and my car still pulls to the right, anyway that would fix it?

The sway (stabilizer) bar's purpose is to transfer the weight to the outside wheel during turns to prevent rollovers. A defective sway bar shouldn't affect the alignment.

Since the alignment didn't solve the right pulling take it back to the shop and ask for another alignment.

Are you replacing the sway bar just because of it's appearance? A rusty sway will do it's job so try removing it and clean it up with low grit sandpaper or stiff wire brushes.

Several years ago my heavily rusted right LCA cracked on the highway after hitting a pot hole. I was just a few miles away so I drove that wobbling MAX back home. When installing a new LCA I noticed the sway bar got bent during that incident. I bent it back to mount the end link onto the LCA. It's run fine since then.

I took it back to the shop and they checked it again, all the numbers were good. (They even gave me the sheet) So they swapped my front tires and checked for my brakes sticking. Brakes were fine, and it still pulled.

They ended saying it must be my tires but if it were my tires wouldn't it pull to the left after they switched them?

And yea I was just going to replaced it because it's ugly but I'll just sand it.

if it's bent slightly you may not be able to align it within spec? Post your alignment results and may shed some more light

Use the string method to look at your alignment....It's possible you have worn components!

Primary Angles - Front - Caster - Camber - Toe
Left 3.0 Left -0.7 Left 0.11
Right 3.2 Right -0.5 Right 0.10

Primary Angles - Rear - Camber - Toe - Thrust Angle
Left -1.1 Left 0.09 0.00
Right -1.2 Right 0.06

Secondary Angles - SAI - Included Angle -
Left 15.1 Left 14.4
Right 15.3 Right 14.8

Hopefully You guys can understand that.
What's the string method?
