I just wanted to report back that the lower bushings were definitely the main cause of death sway on my 03 Pathfinder. I don't plan on worrying with the upper bushings because it drives so well now. I bought this used with 180k on it, so I don't know if the uppers have been replaced before.
If I had it to do over again, I would have bought the poly bushing kit from 4x4parts that came with everything you need. As I stated before, I had to cut the bolts off and find new ones. After seeing how the bushings work, I can see why the std bushings will eventually fail due to the twisting of the rubber. From the looks of it, the poly bushings rotate on the sleeve and therefor don't twist the bushing itself which will eventually result in failure.
