Hi
Common problem on these...
The rear suspension arms get that rusty, that weakens their strength, and become dangerous!
The ones on this car, were bad...
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!

At least it didn't break in half like the notorious D40 Nissan Navarra! Even Eric O from SMA would cringe at those rusted out suspension arms. You have saved the owner from a serious accident there Luis.
😊
Yes, I heard about the Navarra!
Quite scary really...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

I did this recently on my Nissan Qashqai +2, 4WD. The front bolts on both sides were so rusty that they could not be loosened. But I solved this by unscrewing the 4 bolts in the bracket that holds the arm to the chassis. Then after I had to cut the curved part of the arm, near the bracket, by means of an angle grinder. After that I managed to cut the rusted bolt on either side. The size of the metal cutting disc had to be at least of Ø 23 cm in order to do this.

This is the sort of work I usually do not so much the diagnostic work that you do and are very good at I know it’s not rocket science but I think you did an excellent job and not easy working on the floor.
No, not easy on the floor...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Kudos to the owner , i wish all my customers were like that ... Top job mate 👍
I don't have many like this anyway...😊
👍👍👍
Just about to do this on an AWD. Great vid but where are your axle stands? I have had a car start to move on jacks on a concrete floor, nevermind gravel. Let me tell you it was very frightening. I was lucky enough to be able to brace it until help arrived. Just throw one underneath to catch it if it falls.
Estou chocado com o mau estado dessa suspenção traseira. O sal no inverno destrói tudo. Continua com os excelentes videos. Abraço.
Sim, estava bastante danificada...
Obrigado!
👍👍👍
Good job best to replace everything while it's out as very time consuming 👌
I'm doing this job myself, which order did you fit the arms back in? I've almost done them all but the top one about 1" away from lining up. Thanks
You will need to push/force everything into place, as the spring will not allow for everything to just align... there is some fiddling around when connecting the upper arm etc...
👍👍👍
Nice job Luis. MOT tester this year will be like.. Wow!
😊
True...
😋
👍👍👍
Good vid . Something a bit different 👍🏻. Did an insignia the other day with corroded / broken rear arms . And that was a 2013
They don't last like they used to...😋
Thank you for watching!
👍👍👍
Great video 👍 Amazing how corrosion is still a problem in the 21st century , caliper pins had same problem on a Nissan Micra so always good to check.
Yes... I think this will always be a problem, even more if poor quality or low protection materials are used...
Specially on a country that spreads salt on the roads during the winter months...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Great video? It was pointless in the extreme and did not show how to remove the suspension arm or replace it. All we got shown was how to remove a wheel and im sure we all know how to do that already.
You made your point... you don't know how to remove bolts and nuts...
Don't need to be spamming other people's comments...
My videos are not to show the ABC of things, if you don't know the ABC yet go elsewhere learning it, before watch my content...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs so what are your videos for if not to show people how to do the job ? As far as I can see they aren't for anything other than for people to click on adverts so you can make money. You are just a waste of space as are your videos.
I don't have time to engage with people that take everything for granted...
You come here looking for free information at the expensive of others that take the time and put effort to share information...
And you think you are entitled to it just because?
I might have not shown all the details, but showed enough for any person with some skills to be able to do the same...
If what you are looking for is not here, go elsewhere...
This is my last comment on this matter...
Have a nice day...
Nice with some new parts well done of you
😊
👍👍👍
Nice video definitely needed doing will last a lifetime now
😊
👍👍👍
Dang, those were really rusted! Is that due to weak materials or salt on the roads to avoid ice? If nissan uses the same brake calipers as renault (oem) then I can see that as a comon issue. I had a similar problem at the rear caliper of a kangoo 2. Nice work.
I guess the rust is probably a mix of both...😋
Thank you for watching!
👍👍👍
Great job...Here in the Algarve we don't have that problem...
🤣🤣🤣
I am sure you don't...
👍👍👍
Where you get them in cheaper price share link please?
OMG rotten as a pair that's shocking, well done the owner to replace the lot.
Keep up the great content 😁
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
That rust is shocking... I don't even consider that age of vehicle to be that old 😬
Agree...
👍👍👍
I have a 2010 Qashqai with the exact same problem! Had to go to the bank for a refund as I only got it from the dealer.
Coming like that from the dealer, is bad... they should check before sell them...
😳
@@LMAutoRepairs what was the rear subframe like if there was that much rust on the trailing arms the subframe can’t be far behind, also fairly costly replacing all that in an old car.
nice job ! 👌👌👌
was the car kept outside ? that,s some serious rust damage
Thanks!
👍👍👍
I have a Renault Koleos with the same problem. Thought it was a harder job. Thought the drive shaft had to come out as well 😮
😬
Indeed bigger job...
👍👍👍
How many bolt broke off Lu? Awesome clean job as always. 🔩👏👏
Believe me or not, none!
Plenty of patience and WD40 though!
🤣🤣🤣
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs well done. Top man. I expected a lot due to the state is been
how much were the parts? my wifes qashqai needs both rear arms springs ok and middle arm ok its a 2009 1.5 dci
They where not genuine parts...
The arms if I recall correctly, were just under £200 for both... plus all the arms, etc...
👍👍👍
But you never showed the process of taking it off.
NS brake disc didn't look too clever either, maybe cos just being sat.. Another great job!
Thanks!
👍👍👍
I spend an hour each year under my cars coating everything like that with copper slip grease. That way it never gets past the surface rust stage. Any non setting rust preventive applied on a regular basis will do.
Job well done, I agree it all had to be renewed.
That's a good way of keeping them rust free...
Not something very common here though...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Why is it not good to use something that sets please? Black rust preventative paint etc
@@pariskennard4540 because all that does is trap moisture. If rust has never started and roadsalt has never got in then a setting rust protection is what you want. For example a hard shell type underseal is good to prep a new vehicle for use on the beach, grease would just wash off.
@@andrewthompsonuk1 great Thanks
Nice job Luis . No lengthy comment . Too tired .
😊
No worries...
Thank you for watching!
👍👍👍
Just been watching your video,and my wife's car has the same issue,not sure how bad they are yet,but just wanted to ask if you could tell me where abouts you put the axle stand ,as want to be 100% on the placement for safety,hope mine aren't as bad as your swing arms..? cheers dude.
As you might have seen, I haven't used axle stands... I used a piece of wood to block the jack from dropping... if he had to drop...
You can however, just put them somewhere underneath, plenty of locations...
👍👍👍
Ok,must've been been the angle of the video then,as i thought i could see an axle stand just behind the jack,thanks for replying back to me bud,i will find a way of supporting my qashqai,great video by the way dude.@@LMAutoRepairs
@daveshipman2677
Use whatever you need to make it safely...
👍👍👍
Hi bud,just wanted to ask you how difficult was it to disconnect the hydraulic brake line from the suspension arm,did you get under car to access it or did you do it from the side,as just trying to get a clearer picture of what to expect as i will be doing both sides of my wife's car soon,cheers.
@daveshipman2677
You might need to lay down slightly under the car, depends where you want to disconnect it...
It will be probably corroded, and you will find it challenging to undo without twisting or damage the pipes... just go easy on it and with some patience...
👍👍👍
I was hoping this video would show me how to remove the Rear Suspension. I only saw you how to remove the wheel. All suspension parts were removed off camera. Haven't learnt anything here. :(
3 bolts to remove the suspension...
I am sure you can figure that out...
I have replaced both rear suspension arm wishbones but both wheels now showing toe-in is out of spec. Tried adjustments but still failing a wheel alignment test. My local mechanic cant seem to adjust both camber/toe enough so am a bit confused now about what may be causing it :(
That's strange...
I would say, just to check that the bolts were fitted the right way... but I am sure you already did...
Do all Nissans have such poor anti-corrosion protection?
Is definitely not the first qashqai I have seen in this state...
So...🤔
Thank you for watching!
Please answer me! My Nissan qashqai j10 sways to the right from rear whenever I drive through pothole. What could be the issue
I did changed this rusty beam from my qashqai,but ever since the rear sways to the side when I drive through a little pothole
Make sure everything is tightened correctly...
Have you aligned the car after the replacement?
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs the mechanics here said that the car cannot be aligned at the rear. Do you believe so?
Wrong... the one on this video has been done all 4 wheels...
👍
@@LMAutoRepairs can you please give me tips on how to do that
One thing i don't quite get: don't the cars over there go thru a yearly state inspection?!
😊
Yes... they do...
But it is different than there in Portugal...
Thank you for watching!
It would be good to see how it goes back together as well!??
The reverse of removing it...
👍
As a 2 X-trail owner, 2005 T30(sold) and 2012 T31, they share the same rear brakes and same with the QQ. The desing is rubbish. Especiali the slide pin (goes thru the caliper) and rubber seal desing. Smutz build up between the caliper and the seal lip presses the smutz thu the seal. Nissan/Renault still use the same design from 2001 to present.
I need to service/clean them every autum, if not, then they seize.
Tell the QQ owner too, that just cleaning/regreasin the pins, cleaning the rust under the bads hardware is the key.
👍👍👍
Check the rear side of the body under the bumper, there is often a lot of rust there
👍👍👍
Спасибо очень полезное видео по задним рычагам. Стабилизаторы бы конечно тоже поменять сразу, наверняка там сайленты уже порваны.
Ya these rust like crazy! Jokes tbh shouldn’t happen these days!
I got a question off topic, 2005 Astra H 1.7cdti intermittent starting, when it doesn’t start car with spanner light comes on dash, radio displays F and no communication to the ecu can’t read it with diagnostic equipment, I’ve tested all the lives and earths at the ecu all checks fine, tested the can bus lines from diagnostic plug pin 4 & 16 I believe, all other modules say no communication to engine ecu, now I’m thinking the can bus unit in the ecu going bad, is there any thing else i can do other than a new ecu, i don’t have the security code either.
Anything you recommend? Can I get another ecu and have the data transferred?
Many thanks 🙏
Hi
Yes, you should be able to transfer the data...
But with the correct tools, it is easier to just get the pin from your car, and program a replacement...
Just remember, the replacement, you need to get it already reset, or you need to get it supplied with the pin code...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs cheers! I did order a ecu kit with no joy as was coming up with immo fault, changed front & rear fuse boxes, cim, engine ecu, but eml flashing won’t start just says wrong transponder incorrect key won’t start, had the security code and reprogrammed the key says “successful” but same issue!
Guess the kit I ordered faulty to begin with! Hate these kind of problems!
Thanks, but you didn’t actually show us how you did it!??? 😮
Olá Luís.
This rust is a metal protection failure or it is because of the salt in the roads?
I follow your videos very often and I don't remember of any remarks from you about rust issues, maybe some north cars because of the snow.
Is this a year model problem?
Obrigado.
No... rust is a problem here... more on some cars than on others...
It is a mixture of both, I guess, the salt is definitely a problem, during winter months...
I don't mention it a lot, because I am more on electrics etc... not so much on structural repairs like this...
Thank you for watching!
Obrigado!
Springs for these are that cheap worth doing at same time
Indeed!
👍👍👍
well done not easy jobs
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
That car must have spent some time in a salt mine. Or at least near to the coast. Great job.
😊
👍👍👍
Raer discs look rough too
☺️
They do...
👍👍👍
Surprised you didn't replace the rear wheel bearings while you were at it.
Not my car...☺️
Can only do what the owner is happy with...
👍👍👍
👍
👍👍👍
Wow, had it been parked in the Pacific Ocean or "treated" to a relaxing salt bath on a daily basis 😊😂👍
🤣🤣🤣
Wow. I would like that more people think like the owner of this car.
😊
👍👍👍
Hi would like to show you my car Mercedes g wagon
Qashkai j10 такая же фигня. Задний левый рычаг пошёл
👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Os ratos andaram aí:)
🤣🤣🤣
E se andam...
👍👍👍
I am mot tester and this is total fail with dangerous with no doubt.
👍👍👍
You should always remove the wheel security nut first and not with a power tool naughty naughty
👍👍👍
WELL EARNED 100 POUND BILL FOR THE WIEFE.....
😊
👍👍👍
Horrible cars, I regret buying this car. A pile of rust garbage. Never again a Nissan
Specially on a a country that uses salt on the roads...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Yeah Sweden.. I will buy two new rear trailing arms from Autodoc. Around 170 euro each
Yes, to much talks but nothing related seen what is in the replacement!! Would be great when you remove and put it back some moments to show.. Otherwise only need 2 photos old and new part in place that's it... 👎👎👎
🤣🤣🤣
👍👍👍
