VQpower.com - 04-08 Progress Rear Sway Bar
Ever had the rush of coming into a tight bend and get yourself knocked into the door panel with the body lean of your $30k vehicle? The 2004-2008 6th generation Maximas tend to be plagued with a significant amount of body roll due to the larger size, heavier weight, and higher stance. This where a larger sway bar comes into play.
First, it is important to understand a few points about the functionality of an anti-sway bar. A sway bar couples the suspensions on each side to each other, and relative to the chassis. If you could put the car up on a lift and actually compress the suspension on one side by hand, then a sway bar makes the compression of one side also try to compress the suspension on the other. The Progress Group states, "Progress anti-roll bars dramatically improve handling. How? They minimize the traction-robbing body "lean" that rolls part of the outside tires off the pavement." "Our Sport-tuned Anti-roll bars replace skinny OEM bars and rubber bushings with larger diameter (stiffer) alloy steel bars and polyurethane bushings. More roll stiffness means less body "lean", and the tires stay flatter on the pavement (larger contact patches). The result is more grip and added driver control!" This is where VQpower comes in and challenges these statements with a set of tests and product evaluations. Stick around and see what improvements Progress has made on the handling of ol' wobbly.
