THUMPING SOUND ON BACK UP
THUMPING SOUND ON BACK UP
HAS ANYONE HEARD A THUMP WHEN BACKING UP WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL SHARP LEFT OR RIGHT? I'M NOT SURE IF THIS THUMP IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYTIME I BACK UP.
Re: THUMPING SOUND ON BACK UP
I have had this problem. I would get a thumping sound from my front driver's side tire when backing up and turning the steering wheel to the left. It thumped with every rotation of the tire.
However, this was caused by the fact that I had gotten into an accident and the mechanics had installed the wrong bar that connects to the tire. Right part number given to the the dealership that supplied the part but received the wrong part.
They quickly fixed this and I no longer have the thump anymore.
Doubt this is the same issue but hope it helps.

Re: THUMPING SOUND ON BACK UP
There is a technical service bulletin for the Rogue regarding a clunking noise while turning the wheel, here is the details:
"NTB10084 - IF YOU CONFIRM - There is a noise (clunking, popping, or bumping) when the steering wheel is turned. AND - The noise is coming from the top of the front strut assembly. ACTION Replace the left and right Strut Mounting Bearings with the ones listed in the Parts Information section of this bulletin. - Refer to section FSU, chapter FRONT COIL SPRING AND STRUT in the appropriate Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for Removal and Installation instructions. See this bulletin for further detail."
So there is a possibilty you have bad strut mouting bearings, if you take it to your dealer they'll be able to diagnose and repair it.
If you have AWD there is another TSB that could be relevant although it doesn't quite sound like your issue:
"NTB10029 - IF YOU CONFIRM There is a grinding or knocking noise or vibration from the rear of the vehicle: - when making wide turns - on dry roads - at low speeds (under 20 MPH). ACTION Remove the Rear Propeller Shaft and test drive the vehicle: If the noise/vibration DOES NOT stop: This bulletin DOES NOT APPLY. Refer to ASIST for further diagnostic assistance. If the noise/vibration DOES stop: Replace the Electrical Coupling Assy. (CPLG ASSY-ELEC) with the one from the Parts Information section of this bulletin. Refer to the appropriate section in the Electronic Service Manual for removal and installation. DO NOT replace the entire Rear Final Drive assembly for this incident, if it should occur"
