This is an addition and doesn't replace the stock rear anti roll setup correct? From what I gathered the rear torsion beam is not replaceable, and it looks like the bar you installed sits behind the torsion beam Ty for doing this, the leaf definitely can use the improved handling

there most definitely is. Do you think running that oil for 1k miles then draining and checking magnetic plugs would be safe to do? if they come out spotless, i would have more confidence it would last. i would just put the oil back in if it was fine. i wonder how quickly the gears would wear...

thank you all for the reply's, i went with the 215 55 r17 ecopias, and they seem to work well for the few miles i drove. they were at 38psi, i'll inflate them to 44

ill consider smaller rims in the future, but for now I need new tires. one is leaking and another has a nail in it

need new tires, 4x ECOPIA EP422 PLUS (215 /50 R17 95V XL BSW) will cost 850 to install, ugh, are these worth it on the 17 inch rims? from what I understand bigger rims are usually less efficient, I get ok efficiency on my bald Michelin energy savers, does anyone have any experience with ecopias...

I bought a 2016 leaf sv 30kwh that had its battery swapped in may. it seems to be a refurbished 40kwh pack with around 92% capacity, 4 cells are higher than the rest. i made a post about that. i've gotten just barely 150 miles on a charge, so im happy with it, in the winter it should perform...

with 40kwh swaps done by nissan, leafspy by default is fairly buggy. I found that if you change leaf spy settings to model year 2018 and 40kwh, and also backup those settings for ease of use because leafspy will change them again, it seems to correctly display the shunts, SOC, HX, and AH.

Ah, thank you for sharing that, much less worried now. i was probably extremely close to hitting turtle mode then, im quite surprised that the cutoff voltage is lower. everything i read about leaf batteries has indicated it's higher, i guess its a bit harder to find good info on 2018 and newer...

the car absolutely refused to go into turtle mode, i drove it at least 15 miles past the last bar disappearing, lowest voltage in leaf spy was around 2.75, i gave up at that point because i was worried about damaging the battery... is this normal? leafspy showed 0gids and 0kwh remaining for...

I knew it was a gamble going into this. im not upset, more just concerned about the battery and what its doing. i also think that maybe the shunts on those cells don't work, but i would assume the car would throw errors at that point, idk. I paid around 13k for it. I know in the owners manual...

I'm beginning to think that this is a REFURBISHED 40kwh pack, where 4 cells have degraded and were replaced, assuming the car it was taken from got a fresh battery.. I still haven't had a chance to range test it on the highway, but in the city with moderate ac and getting in and out a lot, Ive...

maybe, but would that explain why 4 cells are charged near 4.2v? in the first photo they were around 4.15v, and the car was at 90% charge, so they must of been higher. Im worried those cells will degrade quicker than the rest because they're being charged higher, i'd imagine every time i use...

So I just bought a new leaf with a 40kwh pack, and have noticed with leafspy that 4 cells seem to be .05v higher than all the other cells. This doesn't seem normal, I've been driving around 2015 for over a year and haven't seen anything like it. Could it be like this because the bms believes...
