WD21 sway bar upgrade

[curtcwc]

Hey Guys,

 

Quick question...

 

Can I use a front sway bar off either a 2000 Xterra or Frontier as a direct bolt on for my 1994 WD21 front sway bar?

I hear they are stiffer. Does it have to be off a 4x4 version?

 

What about the rear sway bar, any upgrades I can find at a junk yard?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Curt

You really don't need to unless this is just a street rig. You would be better off suited with better performing shocks and or stiffer springs.

Thanks Cuong for the feedback.

 

My rig is still a daily driver and I have installed new shocks and springs which have helped a lot. I am trying to eliminate the "plow" feeling when turning the wheel at modest speeds. I am getting ready to replace the endlinks and sway bar bushings with poly, so that should help also. I thought I remembered someone saying that an Xterra or Frontier front sway bar was twice as stiff and a bolt on upgrade.

 

Trying to confirm that before buying one at a junk yard.

The front sway bar does the most work so if what you say is true, I would start there. The rear sway bar is not that great on the xterra and may not work for the pathfinder.

The xterra rear one is actually smaller than the pathfinder one. I would leave the rear alone except for replacing wear items.
