i was lookin around yesterday while my tire was off, and i noticed the bushing for the sway bar was so shot... i know theres a kit for the sentra for like 140 bucks? would that fit all nx's?? and what about installation? do they press in by hand or do i need all sorts of tools?

Answers lie within. (http://www.sr20deforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26650) Yes, its they will work for an nx200. If you just want to do just the sway bar bushings its way cheaper, and those are very simple to do (both front and rear bar). Check out suspension.com (http://www.suspension.com), they have good prices on 'em, and have them in stock.

Buy the kit and install it. The classics and the NX's need new bushings. Our cars have a good bit of wear and tear on them. Some suggestions, buy some control arms from a later model 200sx/sentra, have the bushings installed on these, then just swap them onto your car. Newer control arms probably have good ball joints. I had to saw one of my old ones off when I did the motor swap. (yes, I tried every possible way to remove them) Have a heat gun, some WD40, a large screwdriver, a vise, and patience for the rear trailing arms. You can do these without a press. The rear control arms aren't worth the trouble. There's very little bushing to wear, its mostly sleeve. The trailing arms, swaybar bushings, rear spindle bushings and front bushings will make the car 100 times better.
