- In this video I show a worn out differential bushing and how to replace it on my 2010 R51 Nissan pathfinder. I felt a slop in the drive train and these are very common failure point on a Pathfinder.
Bushing removal can be quite hard. at home with basic tools you can use a hack saw to cut the sleeve but also could damage the housing frame. Hammer out the old bushing and hammer new on in. Hard work.
I bought This kit. Expensive but will last a life time I hope. Ebay is also another option for counterfeit brand tools for 1/7th of the price
It made the job easy and could all be done in less then 6 hours.

This process of bushing removal/install will apply with all bushings mounted in suspension or the frame. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

I also just bought a r51 project. I maybe doing this one day.
Thanks
Cheers for sharing mate.. mine are looking same way and in need of swapping out. Might do control arms at same time stiffen it all back up again.
Im happy with the superpro control arm bushings. I did upper bushings and upper ball joints. Also the rear spring carrier bushing with superpro. I also wrapped the bushing sleeve in Teflon tape to help reduce squeaking as they get worn. Thanks for watching.
I had a mechanic replace them, after which I noticed some oil started to slowly drip from the drive shaft exit seal at the the gearbox - could it be related to this job?
I'm not sure mate. But any extra movement in bushings can cause issue elsewhere. The seal in the gear box might need replacing.
Legend cheers mate!
Hi mate. I fit them yesterday by following your video clip. The superpro bushes looks a bit bigger than the original bushes in diameter. Is it correct? Although i spray much wd40 silicon for lubrication, they are still very tight to be fitted.
2nd thing is that my anti-roll bar's bolts was very hard to be removed, i can only unbolted them half way. Do i need to let the car stand by rear wheel for the bar to be unstressed ? Thanks
The bolts are rusted. Mine are the same last time I removed them. The bushings are a press fit. Hence why I got the correct tool to pull them into the frame. It was a tough job. Also I used a wire wheel to remove any surface corrosion. The bushings on mine stick out about 2mm further then stock.
@@sirjolly81 yes, it was a tough job yesterday. Mine is the same, it is about 2-3mm futher than the stock. I fitted it without removing the anti roll bar. I just unbolted it a bit to have more space for the diff to be lifted up. I scared that the thread of the bolts for the anti roll bar would be broken if i kept unbolted completely
Hello,
Before changing the bushings, did you have strong vibrations in the body?
Thanks
No vibrating in my car. You may need to check tyre balance, alignment, Worn out suspension bushings, engine mounts, transmission mount or bad wheel bearing. A lot of things to look at. All my diff bushings still had rubber so didn't cause knocking or vibrating. Metal on metal would be very noticeable. Also don't forget to check cvs for play.
Great video. Did you have a knocking effect or vibrations travelling into the frame before replacing it? I'm suspecting bushes gone on mine
No knocking as it still had rubber. But you can feel the slack/movement when on, off throttle. It's not serious unless all the rubber is gone. Just have a good look. Also engine mounts are a common failure on Nissan r51 and d40. Just replaced mine aswell. Easy job.
@@sirjolly81 thank you. It looks like another thing on my list
Hey man do you know what nut size is the ones holding the back of the differential?
Nope sorry. 21mm, 18mm are common Nissan sizes.
🔥👍
What is chain above holding? Np safety glasses either
the chain is for a spare tyre, Tied up for the video. No safety glasses - The temp is 40°C and fog up instantly also it was clean enough not to be an issue.
Hi mate. How to rotate the prop shaft to unbolted all the bolts? Thanks
I jacked up one wheel and turned it. Handbrake off and out of gear
@@sirjolly81 a guy said that he can replace the bushes without dropping the rear diff. I don't know how he did.

What about front silentblocks? (a bit expensive the original ones)
Hi. Do you.mean the front diff bushings? The horizontal ones?
Yes, the horizontal ones!
Tengo una nissanpanfaider 2007 eso buchen andaban malo igual que esa al desarmar se sacó todo el tren de arrastre porque acá em Nicaragua no venden eso.buchen toco mandar al torno hacerlo
You posted an update video and turned off the comments. It looks like you kept the stock bushings on the diff itself on. Why didn't you replace those? I wonder if that caused more wear on the subframe diff bushings.
Sorry didn't realise I turned the comments off. I didn't replace them because I couldn't find a part number.
@@sirjolly81 I'm in the process of swapping the whiteline poly subframe bushings and I'm having that exact same problem. So far I've tracked down 2 different part numbers which are 55476-ar002 and nab-209. I believe the nab is the febest part number and the other is the official part number. Not 100% sure though since I haven't received mine yet and the dealership doesn't even have a part number for them.
tengo problema con la mía Nissan en la notificación en atrás
where are u based in perth , interested in cash jobs?
Based In nsw, 2 hrs from sydney. Yeah for the right price I would help someone out. Have it done in 4 - 5 hrs. Maybe less. Hard to get time from normal work plus family.
Where did you buy the bushings
Who ever has the parts cheapest. Also I should add in the video superpro bushings are crap. Already split after 40k. I have some OEM to put back in soon.
@@sirjolly81Are you going to put new bushings on the diff itself? I don't understand why everyone who is swapping the subframe bushings is avoiding replacing the ones on the diff.
Your different looks different than my 4.0 in the states
I have no idea what's different on a 4.0ltr. but all the TD ones in Australia are the same from 05 to 2013. But the method of bushings removal/install is the same.
thats a diesel 2.5
Traen ese problemas parece que eso buchen. Son de mala calidad de fabrica
Я их менял не снимая редуктор.
good job. did you cut them out?
А какие ставил в итоге? Можешь дать номер? Сколько проехали, живые еще? Думаю может полиуретан поставить🤔
