I noticed today while doing rear brakes on my 2016 Quest, there's no sway bar/stabilizer bar on the back suspension? Is this the same for all model year Quests?

It could be just the characteristics of the van, but I noticed it does do this annoying lateral wobble/wallow over bumps. Especially when I've got the whole family in it. I never noticed this with our other minivans. Could be related to lack of a sway bar?

OTOH, you can clearly see the sway bar on the back end of the Murano and Pathfinder. I'm assuming their rear suspension is similar, with the addition of a rear diff and CV shafts of course.

Sway bars are a gimmick made to make customers buy parts. Removing them and stabilizer links changes virtually nothing.

???? Yeah I dunno about that. Disconnect the end-links from the front sway bar on your Quest and take'er for a drive. It will be downright ugly over bumps while trying to turn, etc.
