PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
PrecautionsEES0010D
When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with
the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immedi-
ately.
Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The
spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
Lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
ON-VEHICLE SERVICEPFP:00000
Front Suspension PartsEES0010I
Check front suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear and
other damage.
Shake each front wheel to check for excessive play.
If looseness is noted, inspect wheel bearing end play, then
check ball joint end play. Refer to FSU-15, "
Inspection" .
Make sure that the cotter pin is inserted (4WD only).
Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
Check shock absorber for oil leakage and other damage.
Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks and other damage.
Front Wheel AlignmentEES0010J
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WAR NIN G:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts before
making any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-4, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the rear suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-21, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .
For air leveling vehicles, verify the level using Consult-II memory register 1103 and set to 0 ± 10 mm (0
± 0.39 in) as necessary.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN vehicle.
The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.
The alignment machine itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated.
Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.Suspension component torques : Refer to FSU-5,
"Components" .
