| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 nissan altima. I started to notice that the car was not as stable as it used to be. As it turns out, the rear sway bar had snapped into two. I must mention that the car is used for a commute over paved roads and has never been in any accident. Apparently, this has happened to many people (there are complaints all over the web). The rear sway bar is made out of a hollow tube and it broke broke on the passenger side of the vehicle, next to the bracket that holds the sway bar. |
