Front Sway Bar Size

In the process of ordering a front end rebuild kit, but I don't know the size of the front sway bar. Can anyone help me out?

You should be able to use the year, make, model & VIN number at a parts store or at least get the info from the Nisson dealership parts department for the info. Good luck

Nisson or Nissan?

And you can measure the size with a caliper or simply use a measuring tape / a piece of wood on top (laying horizontally - the measuring tape vertical).

the stock is around 7/8, or at least the metric equivilant. i upgraded from msa with the 1.125 front and 7/8 rear. what a difference in body roll and stability. just ask nismopick!! hahaha

I thinking of getting the MSA Performance sway bar kit. Is that the one you ordered Shady? I assume the performance is has the 1.25 front? So would just the sway bars make a big diff.?

Does anyone else have experiance with replacing sway bars? I want to reduce roll while cornering.

yup thats the one i got, dont bother with it unless upgrading the whole shebang, its meant to be used as a system, not on its own. mine just ripped the frame mounts off in a really hard corner, so make bigger frame straps. might as well get shocks, springs, ureathane bushings and the ball joints for the tension/compression arms, or whatever ppl are calling them now.
