Pictures are available on a link provided. My only question, will this work on my 2001 AE? I assume that the SE bushing are the same? Someone please confirm.

Definitely a good mod, especially since our cars are at least 5 years old and the stock rubber bushings are probably in crappy condition.

Ok I still cant see the pics. I believe I really need this since my car is over eight years old and I am still unsure of what we are referring to here.

Thanks for letting me know that there are bushings available now! Last time I looked for front sway bar bushings was back in 2000 for my first Maxima! I see now they are making things more available!
So how does the car ride with the subframe, motor mounts, trailing arms and sway bar bushings upgraded? Do you hear and feel more engine vibration? How does the car come off the line now with the motor mount and subframe bushings? Any improvement in your 60 ft and 1/4 mi times? My motor mount are the electronic style and I'm not sure if they are the same, I didn't see any connectors on your motor mounts!

the car feels a lot smoother over the bumps, the sway bar doesn't make any noise anymore. I can take the corners a little harder than before. My rubber bushings were toast.


You will definitely feel the engine vibration with the ES motor mounts. I put those in after the header install. Definitely worth the money. Can't comment on the subframes as I haven't got them yet( ordered but haven't arrived). I think my only beef with ES is that it sometimes takes a while to get them because they make them in small batches.
