1998 NISSAN PICK-UP spare tire

INSPECTION
1. Ensure vehicle is unladen condition*.
* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
2. Have a driver sit in the driver's seat and one person sit on
the rear of the vehicle. Then have the person on the rear of
the vehicle slowly get off. This is necessary to stabilize sus-
pension deflection.
3. Adjust length ``L'' as follows:
a. Loosen stopper bolt locknut (2WD JIDOSHA KIKI make).
b. Pull lever against stopper bolt and adjust by turning stopper
bolt.
c. Tighten stopper bolt locknut (2WD JIDOSHA KIKI make).
Length ``L'':
2WD models
Approx. 187.3 mm (7.37 in)
4WD models
Approx. 158.1 mm (6.22 in)
4. Install pressure gauge to front and rear brake air bleeder.
5. Bleed air from the Tool.
6. Raise front brake pressure to 4,904 kPa (49.0 bar, 50
kg/cm
2, 711 psi) and 9,807 kPa (98.1 bar, 100 kg/cm2, 1,422
psi) and check rear brake pressure.
Rear brake pressure:
Refer to table below.
7. Set down weight slowly over axle center so that sensor
spring length becomes the same as when in loaded condi-
tion (refer to table below). Check rear brake pressure in the
same way described in step 6.

Precautions
lWhen installing rubber parts, final tightening must be
carried out under unladen condition* with tires on
ground.
* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire,
jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
lAfter installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment and adjust if necessary.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.

7. Turn wheel hub several times in both directions.
8. Retighten wheel bearing lock nut with Tool.
: 0.5 - 1.5 N´m (0.05 - 0.15 kg-m, 4.3 - 13.0 in-lb)
9. Measure wheel bearing axial end play.
Axial end play: 0 mm (0 in)
10. Measure starting force ``A'' at wheel hub bolt.
11. Install lock washer by tightening the lock nut within 15 to 30
degrees.
12. Turn wheel hub several times in both directions to seat wheel
bearing correctly.
13. Measure starting force ``B'' at wheel hub bolt. Refer to step
10.
14. Wheel bearing preload ``C'' can be calculated as shown
below.
C=BþA
Wheel bearing preload ``C'':
7.06 - 20.99 N (0.72 - 2.14 kg, 1.59 - 4.72 lb)
15. Repeat steps 3 through 14 until correct axial end play and
wheel bearing preload are obtained.
16. Install free-running hub.
Front Wheel Alignment
Before checking front wheel alignment, make a preliminary
inspection (Unladen*).
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check tires for wear and proper inflation.
2. Check outside and inside wheel runout.
Wheel runout average
[(Outside runout value + Inside runout value) x 0.5]:
Refer to SDS, FA-35.
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check front suspension for looseness.
5. Check steering linkage for looseness.
6. Check that front shock absorbers work properly by using the
standard bounce test.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-3

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day opera-
tion of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can per-
form the checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise
specified.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, including the
spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or
excessive wear.Ð
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. Ð
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
operate properly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate hinges, latches, rollers and
links if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication fre-
quently.MA-39
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for 2WD models and every
5,000 km (3,000 miles) for 4WD models.MA-35
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
LightsMake sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.Ð
Warning lights and chimesMake sure that all warning lights and chimes are operating prop-
erly.Ð
Steering wheelCheck for change in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)Ð
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for
cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-40
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the
engine oil or refuel.
Windshield washer fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. Ð
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-16, 25
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine.MA-19, 24
Brake and clutch fluid levelMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the
``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines on the reservoir.MA-32, 35
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the ``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines. Ð

3. Disconnect front pin.
INSPECTION
lCheck leaf spring for cracks. Replace if necessary.
lCheck front bracket and pin, shackle, U-bolts and spring pad
for wear, cracks, straightness or damaged threads. Replace
if necessary.
lCheck all bushings for deformation or cracks. Replace if nec-
essary.

bushing]
Make sure that front bushing is properly installed.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply soapsuds to rubber bushing.
2. Install spring shackle and front pin, and finger tighten the
nuts.
3. Install spring pad and nuts under leaf spring or axle case.
4. Tighten U-bolt mounting nuts diagonally.
Tighten U-bolts so that the lengths of all U-bolts under
spring pad are the same.
