Hi all!
Don't know much about suspension. At 175k miles, what do I need to replace on this old brick. I did the bounce test on all four corners and it seems to be fine. Anyway, during cornering/turns, it sways a little too much for my liking. And I can feel the smallest road surface irregularities. Maybe it's just me. Maybe, I'm just used to the handling of the of my other ride (00 Xterra). Any takers?

Consider getting IPD ant-sway bars, and then change all the bushings. You'll cry over the difference . . .
