Whats the deal with rear sway bars on 95 240's? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

240skyline · 09-18-2004, 08:40 PM

My 95 Zenk doesn't have a rear sway bar but I'm sure that is an option on these cars.Is it like an SE or LE option or somethin.Does anyone know,and have any pics of one on their car?I want to add it since I don't have it and I'm not sure how it's set up.

get off your ass and purchase a FSM.

240skyline · 09-18-2004, 09:12 PM

I got two actually but neither have decent drawings or tell you what model 240 was equipped with a rear sway bar.I need a clearer image to see how the set up is.It also doesn't tell me if I need to change the control arms and shit.

The SE model came with a stock sway bar, and it bolts onto your LE without modification. You need the bar and end links for it to work, so you can also buy any bar that comes with end links (whiteline)

Base Model included in everything I said. I keep forgetting/ thinking LE and base are the same thing.

Fo sheezy mah neezy.Thanks for the heads up.

Some aftermarket sway bars won't include the metal brackets that go over the "D" bushings, so if you buy a rear bar, you may need those. Good thing is, the brackets cost less than $5.

AKADriver · 09-19-2004, 10:36 PM

It has a front, but no rear. Most cars don't have rear sway bars.

I hear ya.Thanks for the advice.

***S14DB*** · 09-20-2004, 05:55 PM

I bolted mine in without a FSM. Got one now. Look for the 2 sets of holes on the subframe.

Sorry, don't have a better pic.

You also did the "D" shaped bushings in addition to the brackets. Everything is pre-drilled and threaded so it bolts right on. Might as well get an aftermarket swaybar since they are beefier, unless you don't want more oversteer than a stock se model. Good luck!

240skyline · 09-23-2004, 05:08 PM

Sweet I know what I got to do now without a hitch.Most appreciated....

skatanic28 · 09-24-2004, 11:13 AM

i got some ST ones for cheap. i needed the d-link bolts as well, so i just picked up some m10 1.25 bolts from the hardware store. the only hard part was gettin around the exhaust during the install. if you can drop the catback it should make things a lot easier.

240skyline · 09-25-2004, 06:36 PM

Aight IC what U mean.Awesome I'm thinking of buying a Whitline adjustable bar I can get them on ebay right now for 125$ I think.But any input is totally appreciated thanks dude.

***thread hi-jack***

what do must of you guys recommend when it comes to sway bars? So far I'm hearing Cusco, ST and whiteline. I would really like Largus..but I hear they are expensive and hard to find.

Ya this thread has been pretty helpful...No negativity at all which is sweet.Really the factory sway bars in a 240 are pretty sweet.I would add some polyurethane bushings like I did on my front one and I really noticed a difference.Umm whiteline does seem to be the most popular and the price isn't bad,I was thinking about Tanabe as well but I don't think their adjustable like the Whiteline ones.I guess it really depends on how beefy you want them to be.For myself I'm gonna drive my car daily so I want something thats streetable as well as track worthy so I'm pretty sure I'll go with the whiteline sway bars.Hop[efully this helps man.

ST all the way. When I pulled out that big ass front bar out of the box I was in heaven. Get F&R at the same time or you'll fuck your handling up majorly.

MakotoS13 · 09-25-2004, 10:57 PM

okay, maybe i've been too nice lately or something but this crap has got to stop. how many completely useless threads/posts has this joker created that could have been prevented with minimal use of the search button or a little common sense? i mean, i guess some people just plain suck at figuring stuff out on their own and need their hands held... but sumthin's gotta give...
