Detailed Description

Dorman 540-494 is a suspension stabilizer bar bushing kit made for rear sway bar service on select Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Altima models. The rubber construction helps restore proper bar support at the mounting points, while the 15 mm inside diameter and 38 mm outside diameter provide the dimensional match needed for the listed applications. If you are replacing worn rear stabilizer bushings on a 1996-1998 Nissan Pathfinder, a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder rear application noted to 12/98, or a 1993-1997 Nissan Altima rear with a 15 mm diameter bar, this part number 540-494 is the OE-style replacement to check.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear suspension clunking from worn stabilizer bar bushings
• Excessive sway bar movement at the mounting points
• Loose or degraded rubber bushings on the rear stabilizer bar
• Noise over bumps caused by bushing wear
• Reduced bar support from age, heat, and road exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear stabilizer bar diameter before installation, especially on 1993-1997 Nissan Altima models with a 15 mm bar. Inspect the stabilizer bar and mounting surfaces for wear or corrosion before installing the new bushings. Because brackets are not included, reuse the existing hardware only if it is in serviceable condition.

Quality Assurance

Dorman engineers and tests this stabilizer bar bushing kit for reliable replacement performance on the listed vehicles. Part number 540-494 is built to meet standard replacement expectations for OE-style fit and function.
