I'm quite embarrassed for asking this, but I'm hunting for a banging ("clonk") that comes when riding over bumps or harsh pavement cracks. I bought sway bar links and bushings for both the front and the rear, as they were cheap enough, and to new made sense to replace at 173000km. The parts came up based on my registry plate, so they should match.
Today I tried to replace them, but I couldn't locate the rear sway bar!
Do my car repair skills really stuck this bad, or is my 2015 Qashqai DIG-T Visia not equipped with a rear sway bar??
Does my 1.2 DIG-T have a rear sway bar / anti-roll bar??

Welcome to the forum.
Don’t feel bad, I had to Google what a sway bar was
Good Luck

Thanks for the link, gloucester!
I was unable to remove the front end link bolts, so I took the car to a shop. They confirmed that my car does not have a sway bar at the rear.
Question remains, why did the spare parts seller think that it would? And what vehicle are the parts made of then?
Anyway, the banging sound is now 95% gone, so I'll return the parts I bought and advance to further adventures.

I have to confess never having been underneath my car but I'm surprised a car doesn't have an anti-roll bar particularly since the workshop manual shows it!
I'm not really surprised your supplier's website was inaccurate. I've had problems in the past with batteries and wiper blades in a similar context.
