How Can I Reduce understeer for 2001 Sentra SE

jtan08 · Mar 22nd, 2005, 04:57 PM

I own a sentra 2001 se. I experienced understeer since I bought it.
I did not do anything before because I'm too lazy to do my research.
But I got to know that understeer can be reduce with a rear anti-sway bar.

But apparently, sentra 2001 se suspension is not independant, therefore installing rear anti-sway bar will not help. I got this information after talking to a nissan part sales guy.

Just want check whether anyone will concurr with the sales guy info.
If it is true, then is there any way to overcome this understeer issue.

I'm too lazy to do your research, too.

sales guys=99% of the time don't know jack.

please check the B15 suspension options sticky in this forum, and yes, the rear sway bar does decrease understeer.
