Anti-Roll & Sway Bars para Nissan Pathfinder

Sway Bars for Nissan Pathfinder

Whether you seek high performance on the streets or challenge your Nissan Pathfinder off-road, sway bars can deliver the suspension characteristics you desire. You’ll be able to brake into corners harder and with more precision, or take on terrain that requires greater articulation. There are many parts to choose from, including Nissan Genuine anti-roll bars as well as aftermarket stabilizers from a host of leading manufacturers.

Sway bars determine how your Nissan Pathfinder SUV corners because it dictates body stiffness. These bars, also called stabilizer and anti-roll bars, are relatively simple parts that connect one wheel to the other. That connection not only makes the body stiffer and reduces body roll, but it also shapes the suspension and limits wheel articulation. Most Nissan Pathfinder vehicles manufactured since 1985 have come stock with both a front and a rear sway bar.

The parts included depend on the bar type. An adjustable sway bar, for instance, will have additional components. However, there are parts consistent to most bars for Nissan vehicles, and these include:

• The stabilizer bar
• Two end links
• Two mounting brackets

Nissan sells replacement suspension parts for all vehicles actively supported, but when it comes to other brands, it depends on the manufacturer. Standard parts, such as bushings and nuts, can be replaced generically. If there’s damage to a link or the bar itself, then purchasing a replacement sway bar kit is often a cost-effective option.

A stock or OEM bar is a part manufactured or licensed by Nissan. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Nissan sells them stock, as trim upgrades, and as replacement parts. Aftermarket parts are generally designed to alter the stock suspension and handling characteristics, and there are options available from a wide range of manufacturers, including:

• Moog
• ACDelco
• Mevotech
• Beck/Arnley
• MAS Industries

When sizing a sway bar for your Pathfinder vehicle, you can select it based on the size of the wheelbase and then purchase any necessary mounting equipment. However, a more streamlined way to purchase a Pathfinder sway bar either for the front or rear is to choose it based on the model specifics, such as:

• The model year
• The particular Pathfinder model
• Any special trim designations

There are two important considerations, the relationship between the front and rear sway bar and the balance between articulation and the stiffness of the vehicle. Stiffer sway bars reduce body roll and are generally preferred for on-road performance, and flexibility is generally preferred for off-road applications.
