Nissan Rogue - Frame Bushing Replacement

A very commonly misdiagnosed issue on 2008 - 2015 Nissan Rogues is the Sub-Frame Bushings making noise when turning and when going over bumps. In this video we walk through the steps to verify if this is your concern and how to replace the bushings if that is what's causing your noise.

Thank you for this. God bless you. That vehicle is so clean underneath! Just did an oil pan on a leaky silverado. My family thought I was in blackface, truly. I sure was happy and singing when it was done...despite needing two showers!

Of all the videos of mechanics doing that work, yours is without a doubt the best related video. Straight to the point with logical and easy-to-follow explanations. I have a 2008 Nissan Rogue and the mechanics I have visited are a bunch of incompetents, they can't even use common sense to solve problems. Car owners are required to learn how to repair their own cars or have to change the car every year. I take my hat off to citizens like you, A+

Soon as i heard that noise YUP thats it! Thank you

Thank you for the Video. I had the Lower Control Arms replaced for a really bad popping/ clanking sound. That fixed that, but the other noise is still there. The mechanic was honest enough to let me know that there were two sources of the noise, and that the Control Arms were the clanking sound, and were very dangerous to drive on.

bout to do this job and replace the control arms, stabilizers, tie rods (inner and outer). Probably take all day but took me and my buddy a couple of inspections before we figured out it was the bushings. The others need replacing after 120k miles. That noise will drive your crazy trying to figure out what it is.

Great video! I'm gonna do it! I have a question, though. I have previously replaced the ball joints and found them to be big trouble. So, can I unbolt the lower control arms from the subframe and swivel them out of the way without taking out the ball joints?

[@cougar5285]

Where did you get that set to install them?

[@kamrulrussel6066]

Great video. I have the same issue and planning to fix it myself. just wondering what size sockets you used to take the bushing + sleeves out. And the cup sizes to install them back on. Any recommendation on the bushing as well? Thanks again.

Facts I replace all sway bar links and rods and control arms and cv axel and all that trying to charge me 3k for labor alone
