OK. Here's the score so far; changed the stabilizer links, put in new
struts and new sway bar bushings. The ride is about 85%, still has a
slight thump at low speeds. Maybe it's normal for a 6 year old Sentra.
I'm used to a Nissan pick-up which I've driven for the past 14 years,
rode as smooth as silk, but then it's a ladder frame, everything is
isolated from the body.
Could be I'm not used to uni-bodies.
Thanks again everyone. Leo
