Something is making a noise when I go over bumps in the road. Small or large bumps it sounds like something is loose. I've read about sway bar bushings wearing out causing the bar to shift and rattle a little bit. Anyone else having these noises?

Your symptoms are too vague to suggest anything specific.

Have a shop check front and rear suspension for loose parts and faulty shocks for a start.

Thanks for the info!

My Ford has a rattling sound when I drive on a corrigated dirt road, I know its the bushes of the sway bar and/or bushes of the links being worn/sloppy.
Or stuffed bushes elsewhere?
If you cant figure it out, as colocoug says...

See this thread for what seems to be an unusual problem with faulty sway bar bushings on the 3rd generation that's been reported several times on these forums: 2019 Nissan Murano SV Front Clunking Sound

This may not be your problem, but it is something you can check.

I think for the price, I'll start with replacing the bushings and go from there. Thanks.

I think I found out what my my problem is. Check out the video. You can clearly see my sway bar shifting side to side with little effort. It even makes the "thud" noise I've been hearing.

That doesn't look good - and if you can do that by hand, it is NOT as it should be. Nice work to find that. Better make sure both ends of that sway bar are attached properly as well.

Thanks, Pilgrim. The stabilizer bars appear to be secure and torqued correctly. With the faulty bushings, do you think Nissan has improved them so this won’t happen again or should I buy aftermarket?

Good job.
I wonder if the swaybar links have a problem too.

Check 'em all. The OEM bushings are OK to us.

I've been running aftermarket bushings for at least a year already on mine. No issues so far and they were like $15 for the pair. I did replace the end links at the same time with aftermarket at $30. They've been great this whole time.

Be careful! It could be your rear subframe. My 2010 Murano fishtailed on the expressway with no prior indication of an issue other than the occasional noise from the rear end. I mentioned it to the dealer when I obtained a wheel alignment, but was told everything was tight. I could have been injured or injured someone else when this happened. Now, Nissan offers NO assistance at all with replacing and the dealer wants $4k. I found another mechanic to do it for $3k, but I would have to pay for a rental as well as paying the dealer for the rental they gave me and diagnostic fees. I feel it is a safety issue that 1) the dealer should have noticed when the alignment was done and 2) Nissan is aware of the issue and I do not care if I had 200k miles, there are junk cars way older that do not have this issue! Very frustrating!
