Changing the sway bar links on a 91 gq and at the rear drivers side is a unit called the rear stabiliser release i believe? I have never touched one of these before? and started to remove the four bolts to inspect it and busted a bolt straight up #$%&! So i stopped for the day to think?(drink) I have purchased four sway bar links and figured if i remove this unit a sway bar link must just screw in and out but am at a loss and not sure how to proceed as the manual seems useless and realy would appreciate any advice! Allso purchased some rear sway bar D rubbers of the net and they seem loose,i called the rep and he said they are tapered and i must have them back to front but have never had this problem,they are just rubber not nylothene...

Hey mate

I removed mine ages ago so the memory is sketchy, however, I think the new links slot straight into the bracket that's there - I cut the cable on the unit sort of rendering it worthless (so I thought, apparently can be pulled apart and new cable put in).

You'll need to remove the complete unit to get the new links on ... I don't have the same links on now, but I'll get some snaps of mine later today and post up ...

Couldnt find a tie rod for the sway bar release and the guy at nissan was scratching his head and as soon as he started talkin over a grand to replace the whole unit i just zoned out and payed a guy thirty bux to cut and weld a new tie rod onto the longer release one but he didnt listen and chopped it half way up:( so i got it to fit(just) but now it will not release and the light stays on(snip snip) not happy:(... It seems to work but for how long and how come these things are so hard to find?
