Whole Car Shakes Over Bumps
The Nissan Rogue experiences a whole-car vibration or shaking when driving over bumps. This suggests a suspension or steering component issue, likely related to worn or loose parts that allow excessive movement when the suspension is compressed or rebounds.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes
Worn or loose shock absorbers/struts – loss of damping control causes the vehicle to bounce and shake over bumps.
Loose or worn sway bar links or bushings – these connect the suspension to the chassis and can cause shaking when they have play.
Worn control arm bushings or ball joints – excessive play in the suspension pivots leads to vibration over irregularities.

What You Should Do
Inspect the suspension system: check shock absorbers/struts for leaks or damage, test sway bar links and bushings for looseness, and examine control arm bushings and ball joints for wear.
Also verify wheel alignment and tire balance, though the symptom is bump-specific.
A professional suspension inspection is recommended.
