Heard a loud pop while driving forward, pulled over only to find a broken stabilizer bar, hanging on the rear driver side. Looked on the web to find many people having the same problem. Part is defective, called Nissan told it would be about $500. 00. Owned many different cars and never ever had a stabilizer bar just break. Very disappointed with Nissan America. . . .

For no apparent reason the rear stabilizer bar snapped on my 2007 Nissan Altima. The bar itself is hollow which surprised me. Believe this is a faulty Nissan part since my driving is not aggressive in any way and I did not hit anything or run through a pot hole or curb that might cause this kind of damage. Recommend Nissan issue a technical service bulletin or recall on this part for safety reasons. This compromises safe handling to some degree.

Looked at the car and saw something hanging from the bottom. Brought it to a mechanic and found that the sway bar, sometimes called the stabilizer bar, broke in half. The car was not in an accident. I searched the internet and found that other people have had the same problem with the Nissan Altima 2007.
Rear stabilizer bar (aka sway bar) snapped on driver's side. Was turning right from a stop and heard a "sprung" noise but thought it was just a small pothole. A week later, noticed something hanging under the car - it was part of the bar. No rust under the car whatsoever - failure due to corrosion would be highly unlikely. Metal fatigue, manufacturer defect, or under-engineered suspension design are more likely. Body roll a bit more pronounced than before the incident, but vehicle is still safe to drive in its current state. Car out of warranty. Purchased aftermarket replacement part and will be installing it myself.
The rear stabilizer bar on my 2007 Altima broke on the driver side. I was traveling 55mph in a curve on the highway. After inspection of the stabilizer bar I found that it was hollow. I have found a host of complaints on the internet for the same model sway bar breaking.
The left rear stabilizer bar failed for no apparent reason.
The stabilizer sway bar for the Nissan Altima just broke on its own under normal conditions. I was just driving going speed limit on a local road and the bar snapped. Although I had an accident with this vehicle 4 years ago, the car still ran smoothly because it was minor. The bar snapped on its own and we drive this vehicle with care.

I own a 2001 Nissan Altima, bought brand new with 35,300 miles on it. Naturally the warranty is about to expire and I am concerned because the rear bushings and stabilizer bars have had to be replaced twice already. Is this a safety concern? is this a common problem? is there a recall? what are my rights once my warranty expires?.

A rattling noise is apparent from the rear of the vehicle, especially when going over bumps. My mechanic indicated the read stabilizer bar has a TSB that an improper sealer or brushing was used when the car was made, however I now have 57,000 miles on the car that is 3. 5 years old, I. E. Out of warranty therefore I am responsible for a manufacture defect.
Sway bar bushing fell off the vehicle while driving. The dealership replaced the bushing. Please provide more details. Ts.
