Yeah the mechanic checked that already but I can definitely try it myself. I have read a lot of forums and many guys have experienced exactly same problems but no one has posted a solution.
body sway
Best description I could come up with. What would be the replacement or upgrade parts to consider for this situation:
Hitting or rolling across a dip or heave in the road surface we'll get a nice side to side sway in the MO. Just briefly then it will
come back. I think I notice it more now than when newer. Still OE shocks/struts. Newer Bridgestones. I think the shocks are still doing
the job, not alot of bouncing. It is a gentle driven ride under foot and conditions.

I tried to get my mechanic to change the lower control arms but he can’t find a reason to. They are solid. Frustrating when you can’t find a mechanic to take “your money for nothing” that should be a song 🎶 I think 🤔 😂
You should stick with him. He's not picking your pocket to replace equipment that's good. If he checked them and they're good, have him look elsewhere.I tried to get my mechanic to change the lower control arms but he can’t find a reason to. They are solid.

If there is a clunk or scrape associated with any of the body movement as Pilgrim suggested, I would almost guarantee it. I have 73k and still on original shocks/struts and they are just fine.Best description I could come up with. What would be the replacement or upgrade parts to consider for this situation:

In my experience, shocks and struts should go at least 100K (aside from a possible individual part failure) if you're not driving washboard roads all the time.
I'm at 142k miles on my 2010 Murano and didn't notice anything yet but I was assuming something will have to be done soon. Last time I took it to Nissans they said everything looks fine but I'm on the verge of wanting to replace before it does get bad. Not much rust underneath - lives in TN but I'll start doing inspections at it every 6 months to notice something if I could.
Unless I'm not noticing the sway at all but I doubt that's the case.
