Tame body roll and keep the rear suspension controlled through corners with the Beck/Arnley sway bar link 101-5501, a rear stabilizer bar link that connects the rear stabilizer bar to the suspension so it can resist lean. It drops in as a direct replacement for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima and 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.
Beck/Arnley builds parts for foreign-nameplate vehicles with close attention to form, fit, and function, sourced through a trusted global network to OE-quality standards.
- Matches OE form, fit and function: engineered to replace the original link on the listed applications.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: help protect the link against rust.
- Hardware included: ships with the components and hardware needed for the replacement, with hardware functionality that matches the original design requirements.
- Application specific: made for this vehicle.
Worn sway bar links commonly produce a clunk or rattle over bumps along with increased body roll. If a failed link is the cause, this replaces it — diagnose the noise first, since other suspension parts can produce similar sounds. Left and right links wear at a similar rate, so replacing both rear sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
