If you have heard an annoying creaking noise when driving over bumps and dips in your Nissan Qashqai, this guide is for you: remove the wheel and locate the stabiliser bar (or anti-roll bar). The noise comes from a bush rubbing against the bar. Remove the rubber bush and lubricate it with silicone grease.

Unfortunately, using spray grease does not permanently solve the problem.

You need to disassemble it. Remove the bolt on the front shock absorber using an 18 mm spanner. The vehicle must be securely supported on axle stands, as you need to get underneath.

Remove another bolt, highlighted in the video, which is 16 mm, to take out the bush that is making noise with the anti-roll bar. Apply silicone grease to this bush. Once lubricated, reassemble it with the cut part facing forward (as it was when removed).

Refit the bracket that held the piece, along with its bolts. Refit the stabiliser link and then reattach the wheel.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
