| Description of the problem | I was walking up to my car when i saw something dangling near the rear driver side wheel. It turned out to be the rear sway bar had broken into two pieces. My mechanic friend insisted to remove it right away as it would be too dangerous to drive. When we removed it, there was indication of rusting inside the sway bar. Nissan dealers would not replace it under warranty as my car had exceeded 60,000 miles. I am now searching for new sway bar to replace it. |
