The Tanabe rear bar as well as the Hotchkis rear bar (which can be special ordered separately) should fit. Other than the smaller sway size and taller ride height, the rear suspension is identical between the AWD and RWD cars.

My RWD bar did not come with bushings so I ordered new ones, Nissan part # 54613-JK01A. The AWD bushings are too small and cannot be used on the RWD bar.

So, if we want to install RWD sway, all we have to change are bushings and we don't need to change brackets, do we?

After more miles, I love the RWD rear sway. I was able to get the VDC to activate on dry pavement for the first time while ripping a corner. After turning off the VDC, car exhibited very neutral cornering.

Hey bsowhat1, where did you buy your bushing kit - part # 54613-JK01A (local dealer, online)? I can't seem to find it...

I use autopartspeople.com for my OEM parts. Out of Washington state. You will need a pair of bushings.

Where did you purchase the stock RWD rear sway bar from? The best price I can find online is around $125.

Thanks!
