i see ok i thought you guys were talking about the control arm busings and i was like what slit huh??? but yeah so you guys are talking about the bushings that go on the sway bar then. are those worth the money. i have control arm bushings already and while i was installing those i was wondering if any one made bushings to replace these rubber bushings i had on the sway bars guess they do.

They are cheap, but I'm not so sure they should be installed (although I still have mine in).
Maxima's are notorious for understeer. To reduce understeer, you should tighten or stiffen the rear sway bar and loosen the front. Putting urethane bushings in the front makes the front firmer. For moderate turns, the front urethane bushings feel great but when you push it to the limits (like on the autocross course) it becomes apparent that you are better off with stock rubber bushings.

I checked mine. Same thing! 
I think the problem for me was I greased the outside as well as inside of the bushing. Next set, whenever I get it, I'll just grease the inside of the bushings only.

Thats a good thought. I to greased the out side thought thats what you were supposed to do, dose any one know?? also the clamps have arowes on them make sure they are pointing forwared to the front of the car.

I know this is old, but I was searching and this is what I found.
I just bought the ES endlink bushings, but I didn't order the Sway bar bushings. Think this is a bad idea to just replace the endlink bushings?

Hey guys, got a question on where else besides Courtesy to buy my ES bushings from. I had ordered them 2 weeks ago from Courtesy but when I called up to get a tracking number, they had no record of me ever placing an order! Due to this fact I WILL not be ordering from Courtesy ever again. Thanks for the info.
