3 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem of the 2007 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 12/09/2014

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.

9 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem of the 2007 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 07/13/2012

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.
