subfame Bushings are bad, any DIY tips?

[Rogue Noob]

our 2008 Rogue is really having a lot of issues right now, just changed out the LCA, to discover the subframe bushings are bad too. apparently Nissan is notorious for having low grade bushings. Has anyone changed these themselves? If so, any tips? I did the LCA myself, would like to do this myself too. Found nothing in the DIY section, if there is something already there let me know.



Also have the oil cooler leak, and already bought the gaskets, just can't find any DIY thread on the fix. is there one on here?

the bushings are pressed into the subframe. this is a pain in the butt to do. most just burn them out.
i would just leave it alone; and start looking at another car.

Sounds like an opportunity to DO a write up, like you did on the coolant flush, only this time take pictures, because I can't read or write.

Dealer wants 1500, they will just replace the subframe. Maybe I'll see if that is something I could do, or just take it to another shop.

Any update on the oil cooler? I'm in the same situation....

Did you end up doing this yourself? I'm in the same situation and got the same bushings as you show in the image, but it might be too big a job to do by myself? If you did it, how many hours did it take, anything specific to note? If you had someone else do it, how many hours did it take?

Thanks!

Has anyone tackled this with the 08 Rogue? Just found out today my bushing is shot and in desperate need of repair. I am fairly handy, but fully removing the subframe may be a tad out of my reach. Any info would be great.

What is your proof for them being dead, the outside you see can commonly be cracked up yet they are fine deep inside where it matters. If you offroad a lot they may be dead but not real common to be bad on a street driven only vehicle.
