TOE-IN
1. Mark a base line across the tread.
After lowering front of vehicle, move it up and down to elimi-
nate friction, and set steering wheel in straight ahead position.
2. Measure toe-in.
Measure distance ªAº and ªBº at the same height as hub cen-
ter.Toe-in (Unladen):Refer to SDS, FA-39.
Toe-in = A þ B
3. Adjust toe-in by varying the length of steering tie-rods.
(1) Loosen clamp bolts or lock nuts.
(2) Adjust toe-in by turning the left and right tie-rod tubes an equal amount.
Make sure that the tie-rod bars are screwed into the tie-rod
tube more than 32.5 mm (1.280 in).
Make sure that the tie-rods are the same length. Standard length (A = B):287 mm (11.30 in)
(3) Tighten clamp bolts or lock nuts, to the specified torque.

Precautions
IWhen installing each rubber part, final tightening must be car-
ried 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.
I Use Tool when removing or installing brake tubes.
I If suspension or suspension parts are dismounted, check wheel
alignment and adjust if necessary.
I Do not jack up vehicle at lower link.

Installation
IPress new wheel bearing until it touches the bottom of the
bearing housing.
Always press outer race of wheel bearing during installation.
I Press new grease seal until it bottoms end face of bearing
housing.
After installing new grease seal, coat sealing lip with multipur-
pose grease.
I Install baffle plate over bearing housing and press axle shaft
into inner race of wheel bearing.
Be careful not to damage or deform grease seal.
I Install washer and lock washer.
I Before installing lock nut, apply a coat of wheel bearing grease
to its seat. Tighten lock nut to specified torque.
: 245 - 249 N ×m
(25 - 30 kg-m, 181 - 217 ft-lb)
I Turn bearing housing (with respect to axle shaft) two or three
times. It must turn smoothly.

Supplement Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR BAGº
and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System ªAir Bagº and ªSeat Belt Pre-tensionerº, used along with a seat belt, help
to reduce the risk or severity or injury to the driver and front passenger in a collision. The Supplemental
Restraint System consists of an air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the instru-
ment panel on the passenger side, where fitted), seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning
lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the
BT sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
I To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative (which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation), all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses (except ªSEAT BELT-TENSIONERº connector) can be iden-
tified with yellow harness connector and with yellow harness protector or yellow insulation tape
before the harness connectors.
Precautions
IUse only ªDOT 4º fluid from a sealed container.
I Never reuse drained brake fluid.
I Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
I To clean master cylinder parts, disc brake caliper parts or
wheel cylinder parts, use clean brake fluid.
I Never use mineral oils such as Petrol or kerosene. They
will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.
I Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tubes.
I Always torque brake lines when installing.
I Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings,
or if a soft pedal occurs at very low speed. Refer to ªBrake
Burnishing Procedureº, ªCheck and Adjustmentº, BR-5.
WARNING:
I Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk
of health hazard from airborne materials.
I Avoid prolonged and repeated skin contact with brake
fluid.
I Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves.
I Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should
be worn Ð for example chemical goggles or face shield.
