2016 Nissan Rogue Subframe bushing noise Nissan with 75k miles?! Lets find out what's going on! 

thanks a lot I appreciate that!

Thank you!

Thank you very much. Have a great weekend.

WOW what timing! I have another rogue up on the rack now. This one has creaking noise also but so far I haven’t found anything yet! Thanks for the kind words and good luck on your Rouge! Have a great 2022!

Get someone under the car. Put the car from reverse to drive over and over again. If you’re getting a creak or clunk it’s probably subframe bushing. I have one now with the left front bushing making noise

This one actually had that rubber washer/bushing between the subframe and frame. But for ones that don’t, you are 100% right that that should help dampen the noise!!

i have a 2021 rogue and must say its smaller than my last 2018 rogue- feels like a small sedan. theres also something off about the cabin filter- i smell like pollution after using it, an experience i dont have when driving my other car. Technology and refinement for the price is second to none as well as the customer service but these have been real dealbreakers for me.

I have a 2011 nissan rogue, I've been driving for 3 years, it's the biggest PIECE of JUNK EVER in 50years of Driving!

Thanks a lot for the kind words!!

Thanks, it is a shame we didn’t find a solid reason for the noise!

@@whatsnextgarage I have a Renault clio 4 which is the same auto group as nissan and the frame and subframe is very similar but mine dont have bushing on the subframe, its like solid bushings.

Same here, I never really found the issue for this noise either. seems like a terrible design.

I had a popping noise that came from the front left. I complained about it at 15k and the dealer couldn't find the problem. Fast forward to 40k and my warranty is over (four years). I complained about a different noise coming from the console. The tech heard the popping from the front left and replaced the struts to the tune of $1400. I told them I had complained about the popping at 15k, and the dealer got Nissan to pony up. I had to pay $90. Turns out the noise from the console was an Acco clip that got into the console - no idea how. That cost me $300 to fix, but I am still way ahead of the game. My Nissan dealer has been good to me so far.

@@tperki2322 oh wow! Great turn of events! I may have to revisit my dealership now.

@@tperki2322 Awesome that you had them record it at 15k. saved you plenty

You're being ripped off by the dealer - Business as usual , they're all crooks .

When the car is lifted into the air it will look like that because the suspension is pushing the control arm down and the rubber bushing flexes in that socket. That’s why it is kind of bulging out like that.

Dang hope you got the problem solved

@@whatsnextgarage Yes, issue resolved.

It very well could be a squeak from the suspension bushings. Maybe take a silicon spray or some other type of compatible lubricant and spray the suspension bushings. If you can get it indoors🥶. Otherwise just monitor the squeak, make sure it doesn’t get worse, then see how it sounds when it warms up.

@@whatsnextgarage Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Great info thanks!!!

@@whatsnextgarage Great video, I think the brake disc shields are to protect the driveshaft gaiter and lower arm ball joint from hot fragments off the disc.

@@chrisswift1834 never thought about that. Makes sense and I imagine to shield from heat. They always rust off with older cars in Wisconsin 🤣

@@whatsnextgarage I'm having this same issue and guess what? I'm in Wisconsin! Where abouts are you located by chance?

She described the noise differently then I would have. There was more of a scrapping noise when turning sharp and hitting a bump. In the end it was a compilation heat shield for the rotors and the exhaust heat shield.

The durability of components on these newer vehicles is disappointing.

Perhaps get a can of silicon spray and spray the rubber bushings that connect the front subframe and the shock tower bushings. That may help the noise

@@whatsnextgarage thanks, I'll do that tomorrow.

Yes I agree. Otherwise they seem like a relative nice vehicle.

True.

I was surprised at the reviews these rogues have been getting! Some good some bad, it appears even with the maintenance up to date it is mixed. Never had a Honda vehicle yet, but I’m still young🤣. Have a great New Year!!

I've had the same problem with my 08 Rouge. Go to 7:35 of this vid and I had the same problem but from the rear. Instead of taking the tire off, I used my had or screwdriver and pushed it away from the tire (right through the rim I pushed lightly on the aluminum metal shield and bent it very lightly) because it was rubbing on the tire. That happened twice to me, just an idea and could be the easiest solution! Hope this helps!

After I typed this, a cpl responses down was the exact issue I had. (Chris Swift is the name of the poster that responded. Read that to better understand if need be)

Thanks for your help , I’ll let you know how it goes . Thank you again .

Mr Rooster, there are a few potential issues that are causing your low grinding noise. These are from my experiences only. Like others have posted, the heat shield can sometimes get bend and interfere with the rotor, also if it is humid outside there is a potential of flash rust forming between the semi-metallic pads and the rotor. This will cause a low grinding noise until it gets rubbed off, typically within the first few 100 feet of driving and braking. Because your vehicle is a 2015, I wouldn’t expect the rear differential to be making a grinding noise or the wheel bearings yet, and if these were bad, they would make noise every time you would drive. Finally, If your mechanic checked pads and rotors as well as other common trouble spots I can only guess that the noise is from flash rust. Hope this helps and keep us posted. Have a great week!!

@@whatsnextgarage thank you for your response. I’ll going to look for into the issues this weekend . I’ll also try to have some audio so everyone can hear the noise .

The only thing that I found was the few loose rattles and rubbing parts. It’s been over a year and I’ve installed a hitch and did brakes again for this customer and the noise never resurfaced.

Only take a nissan to the dealer for fluids. Especially cvt

Just that stupid heat shield for the brakes. The owner had it back a month or so ago for an oil change and said the noise never came back🤷‍♂️

WOW thank you very much! I appreciate it a lot! Have a great Holiday Season!! Thanks again!

Lol no worries. Merry Christmas

It turned out not to be the subframe this time. It actually was noise that was coming from the front rotors. The subframe bushings were ok when I was prying on them. I didn’t have to replace any parts related to the subframe! Happy for that👍

@@whatsnextgarage so if is.of subframe how can I know is that or the bushings.? Sir.

@@tonycervantes4816 If the sub frame bushings are bad, they steel sleeve will be separated from the rubber or when you pry with a pry bar they will be loose or make a clunking sound. The heat shield that was the problem on my job made a scraping noise that the owner had thought came from the underside middle of the car.

@@whatsnextgarage okay if is of bushings can I remplace just of bushings. ?

@@tonycervantes4816 yes you can replace just the bushings. It’s kind of a pain because they are pressed in. But it can be done.

WOW then they definitely wear and fail.

I am not sure but I have heard that the dealers just replace the entire subframe and do not just replace the bushings. I bet its between $1000 and $1500 at the dealer. An independent shop, probably $500 just to press out and reinstall.

You can find them on amazon or ebay, just look for rogue subframe bushings

For sure I will🤣

WOW!! I was checking it out for a friend so its to late for them!! i will steer clear of them!

@@whatsnextgarage yep I need to do my subframe bushings next. Its a piece of shit

What? How long did you expect these parts to last? Drive shafts & wheel bearings are the same part, but if you beat on your car, you can expect it to last 115k. Do the repairs and drive it.

@@thomasfx3190 cv axels not drive shafts. I did not beat my car, these things are made cheaply. Forgot to mention sway bars. My whole front end was fucked.

@@Adam-jl8nu well, I’ve got two rogues, my sons car has 88k miles and mine has 45k miles. Mine was built in Mississippi, his was built in S. Korea. Zero problems. We always get our service done at Nissan. I can see replacing CV joints / shafts at 100k as normal wear and tear, but what happened that your sway bar is broken? It’s just a big iron rod. Did they show you the worn out bearings?

🤣
