Good video. We do it without removing subframe. just loosen subframe till you get enough room to pull new bush back thru from top. Use a socket same size as bush and put a air chisel hammer on end to force old bush up and out and long bolt with flat washer to pull new bush back in. bit of fiddling around but much quicker than removing the lot
I recently replaced my sway bar links because I was experiencing a knocking sound from the front driver's side when going over bumps, but the noise persists. I inspected the subframe bushings and they seem to have too much play. This is the only video for Nissan Versa that explains it very thoroughly on how to replace bushings. Thank you!
This is a fantastic explanation of this, i plan on tackling this project soon with the help of my dad. We unfortunately do not have a lift but will do what needs to be done, thankyou for the video
Great video. I recently did the same thing on my ‘11 hatchback. I did mine differently in that I left the steering rack and stabilizer bar attached to the subframe when I removed it from the vehicle. I found this way easier than torching off bolts and such. To do this, only had to disconnect the tie rod ends from the knuckles and the steering intermediate shaft behind the pedals. It was so easy that I made a mental note that when someday i need to replace inner tie rods, I’m going to remove the subframe to do it.
Extremely helpful video, thank you for that, I have the same situation though with the little “brace” like bracket that connects to the body, where the bolt won’t come out. Any suggestions on how to take it out?
Scroll up through the video @ 2:09 where I talk about removing the air box and reaching down and taking out the horizontal cross bolts that attach that hanger to the body
Thanks for the Vertigo!
hahahahaha you are a funny guy !

Grab the subframe and see if you can move it side to side, you might have to use a pry bar. Let us know. Happy New Year !

Cvt still running?
Last I knew !
How much would you charge for labor to replace the subframe bushings
Almost as much as I would make playing Fortnight for a week :-)
@@mark_osborne okay thanks I guess 😂
Where are you located
I have this problem too
Poor engineering, shitty design....
I'm thinking you're correct :-)
