moar xtrail problems

[neals]

Guys my cradel arm bushings gone again, making that stink hollow sound over small bumps.
I really gonna try and press them out and replace them, anyone had luck doing this? /where can be done ?

The sway bar links and bushings are notorious on the xtrail. Verify those first before moving to control arm/cradle bushings.

kk ill check, i changed the cradle arms recently- last year April, so i find it sucks that the bushings gone again

You'll see space on the sway bushings while on the ground if bad.

The links are a bit more tricky, you need to strategically pry them when jacked and listen for noise or look for play or worst case, remove them and check the degree of play on the joints. Generally a good link is a bit tight/stiff to move.

the right side ..

and the left side...

does that count as space?

[neals]

so i checked, everything, nothing loose/ nothing burst/ cracked. i sitll dont know where this hollow sound/ feel is coming from

[Strugglerzinc]

Sway bushings look good. If not any of the above then possibly ball joint, inner or outer tie rod ends or very slim chance of the rack mounts.

Just guesses really without a firsthand look.

Xxr performance in cunupia, or even the super pro bushing dealer in Clayton bay both have new whole cradle arms with super pro bushings on it, just in case it's your bushings again.
These will literally outlast your original bushings by 5 times I'd guess.
They lil pricey but worth it if u keeping d van a while.
