I have a 2003 Maxima, and i want to get the front Sway bar bushing set, but i Dont no the size. Is it 22 or 23mm. The people from ES dont have a clue.

I also want to get the subframe and the front links. Does anyone have the sizes or # for them thanks.

 

SE in 23mm...the other trims are 22mm.

Don't waste your money. I replaced mine and found that the OEM sway bar bushings are polyurethane. The new ones made no difference at all.

 

I beg to differ - in fact, I found HUGE difference after replacing OEM FSB bushings with ES ones.
The steering wheel has became very "live" - once taking it off-center, it goes back to the center with vigor. During turns, now it takes an effort to hold the steering wheel; before the ES bushings the steering feel was very "vogue"...
This was an excellent mod for mine '02 6sp with 90K on it.

Bumpage... Does this swap require an alignment afterwards? The most descriptive thread with steps wont load.. Feel free to point me to a thread if you find it..

Thanks!!

 

No need for an alignment. In response to the yvfed1, I would assume the reason he saw a noticable change (where I did not) was due to the high mileage. I changed mine around 30k (yvfed1 changed his at 90k).

When I put the OEM and ES bushing side by side they had the same look and feel. I did not find the OEM one to be less stiff than the ES bushing.

 

Thanks for the info..

 

Now that even the newest of our cars are 5 years old, even new factory D bushings will make an improvement.

 

i gotta do that.. cheap for a mod

Did you buy the set with the grease fitting. Are they easy to get a grease gun into them to grease them? How often do you need to grease them?
thanks

Yea, if you really consider that a "mod"....if i did it i would consider it maintenance or P.M. Maybe if you changed every bushing, then, just maybe consider it a "modification"

 

I CERTAINLY notice a difference from factory FSB busings and the ES bushings....response feels alot tighter
