Wheel Alignment InspectionEES001HH
Rear Wheel Alignment Adjusting Bolts
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WA RN ING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface. Use CONSULT-II "EXHAUST SOLE-
NOID" active test to release the air pressure from the rear load leveling air suspension system.
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 runout and damage. Refer to WT-5, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play.
5. Check the shock absorbers. Refer to RSU-26, "
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION" .
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 RSU-48, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .

If vehicle height is not within ± 10 mm (0.39 in) of the specification, perform the control unit initialization
procedure. Refer to RSU-46, "
Initialization Procedure" .
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.

Removal and Installation EES001HJ
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly using power tool. Refer to WT-7, "Rotation" .
2. Use CONSULT-II “EXHAUST SOLENOID” active test to release the air pressure from the rear load level-
ing air suspension system.
3. Remove the four clips and remove the rear fender protector, front.
4. Disconnect the rear load leveling air suspension hose from the
shock absorber.

To disconnect the hose, push in on the lock ring using a suit-
able tool and pull the air hose out.
5. Remove the shock absorber upper and lower end bolts using
power tool.
6. Remove the shock absorber.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the rubber boot on the shock absorber.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten the shock absorber bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-25, "Components" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check the shock absorber for any air leaks or damage to the rubber boot.

Check the shock absorber for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension.

Check piston rod for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly using power tool.
2. Use CONSULT-II "EXHAUST SOLENOID" active test to release the air pressure from the rear load level-
ing air suspension system.
3. Remove the shock absorber lower end bolt.
4. Remove the adjusting bolt and nut, and the bolt and nut, from
the front lower link and rear suspension member using power
tool.
5. Remove the front lower link pinch bolt and nut on the knuckle
side using power tool.
6. Disconnect the front lower link from the knuckle using a soft
hammer.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the ball joint with the soft hammer.
7. Remove the front lower link.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Check the front lower link and bushing for any deformation, crack, or damage. Replace if necessary.

Check the rubber bushing for damage, cracks and deformation. Replace the front lower link and bushing if
necessary.

Before checking, turn the ball joint at least 10 revolutions so that the ball joint is properly broken in.

Check the ball joint. Replace the front lower link if any of the fol-
lowing conditions exist:
–Ball stud is worn.
–Joint is hard to swing.
–Play in axial direction is excessive.
