2006 INFINITI FX35 oil level

FFD-14
FRONT FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45

Tighten mounting bolts in the order as described below when
installing front final drive assembly: side of gear carrier (1),
upper side of gear carrier (2), part of carrier cover (3), lower part
of gear carrier (4).
CAUTION:
Align the mating faces of gear carrier and oil pan for instal-
lation.

When installing breather hoses (1) and tube (2), refer to the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Make sure there are no pinched or restricted areas on the
breather hose caused by bending or winding when install-
ing it.
–Make sure the paint mark facing up ( ).
–Securely install the hose until it seats the rounded portion of the
tube ( ).
–Install breather connector as shown in the figure.
–Seat the breather tube bracket end (A) to the machined face (B)
of gear carrier boss.

When oil leaks while removing final drive assembly, check oil
level after the installation. Refer to FFD-8, "
Changing Differential
Gear Oil" .

FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLYPFP:54010
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNES000I3
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION LOWER BALL JOINT END PLAY
1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool between transverse link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
STRUT INSPECTION

Check strut for oil leakage, damage and replace if there are. Refer to FSU-11, "COIL SPRING AND
STRUT" .
Wheel Alignment InspectionNES000I4
DESCRIPTION

Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.

Check road wheels for runout.

Check wheel bearing axial end play.

Check ball joint axial end play of compression rod, upper link, and steering knuckle

Check shock absorber operation.

Check each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.

Check each link, rod and member for cracks, deformation and other damage.

Check vehicle posture.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
–This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
–The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.

Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
–Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
–Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration
Schedule. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
