Its the Progress bar, 27mm. The part number is 62.1510. Should be able to find one somewhere. They're originally grey in color.


Progress stopped making those anti-sway bars according to Greg V. Either way, this is simply reinforcing a beam, and not a true anti-sway bar since there is not chassis attachment point for the bar. It does stiffen the rear indeed, but it could be better.

Drove mine to work again.

@Kyle is right, I was thinking the front being available for some reason. I found this one through CL about a year ago. The guy was selling the car with them on so I had to grease his pockets a bit to convince him to sell it to me.

Yes Kyle everyone should now this, BUT have you ever had the beam off?? its pretty fcking floppy if you ask me. This should stiffen the back up a lot!

Anyone can tell if will be floppy by a cursory glance at it. A rather large, 'unused staple' shaped device with the least amount of attachment points possible = reliable, cheap, flimsy.... everything Nissan wanted from the car in 1995. Nissan changed a good bit of the rear beam around in the B16 chassis, Versa etc.... since this was not the best way to install a beam in the rear end.

What would make an even larger difference is removing the pre-set amount of toe-in from the factory. That will make an even larger difference since you are still fighting the geometry. (Anyone who has had that geometry change done can attest to this.) But, making the car stiffer in the rear is almost always better.

Also, drove my B14 to work again. Rust let the rear bumper sag on the less damaged end. As in, the metal rusted away from the body attachment pi Pretty funny how that worked out if you ask me. Poor rusty car.

I should have just swapped in the Rasheen AWD rear end in...
