REMOVAL
1. Remove engine undercover with a power tool.
2. If necessary, remove heat bracket.
3. Remove the three way catalyst (right bank) with a power tool. Refer to EX-3, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
4. Put matching marks onto propeller shaft flange yoke and final
drive companion flange.
CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Do not damage propeller
shaft flange and companion flange.
5. Remove the propeller shaft fixing bolts.
6. Remove propeller shaft from the front final drive and transfer.
INSPECTION
Inspect propeller shaft runout at measuring point. If runout
exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly. For
measuring point, refer to PR-4, "
Propeller Shaft Runout Measur-
ing Point" .
As shown in the figure, while fixing yoke on one side, check axial
play of joint. If outside the standard, replace propeller shaft
assembly.
Check propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damage is
detected, replace propeller shaft assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble joints.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, install in the reverse order of removal.
Align matching marks to install propeller shaft to final drive com-
panion flange, and then tighten to specified torque. Refer to PR-
4, "Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the bolts.
After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft
vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propeller shaft from
final drive or transfer. Reinstall companion flange after rotating it
by 90, 180, 270 degrees. Then perform driving test and check
propeller shaft vibration again at each point.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
POWER STEERING FLUIDPFP:KLF20
Checking Fluid LevelNGS000D5
Check fluid level with engine stopped.
Make sure that fluid level is between MIN and MAX.
Fluid levels at HOT and COLD are different. Do not confuse
them.
CAUTION:
The fluid level should not exceed the MAX line. Excessive
fluid will cause fluid leakage from the cap.
Do not reuse drained power steering fluid.
Recommended fluid is Genuine Nissan PSF or equiva-
lent.
Checking Fluid LeakageNGS000D6
Check hydraulic connections for fluid leakage, cracks, damage,
looseness, or wear.
1. Run engine until the fluid temperature reaches 50 to 80
C (122
to 176
F) in reservoir tank, and keep engine speed idle.
2. Turn steering wheel several times from full left stop to full right
stop.
3. Hold steering wheel at each lock position for five seconds and
carefully, check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may
be damaged.)
4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not overtighten con-
nector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEERING OIL
PUMP" .
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating from steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemNGS000D7
If air bleeding is not complete, the following symptoms can be observed.
Bubbles are created in reservoir tank.
Clicking noise can be heard from oil pump.
Excessive buzzing in the oil pump.
NOTE:
Fluid noise may occur in the steering gear or oil pump. This does not affect performance or durability of
the system.
1. Turn steering wheel several times from full left stop to full right stop with engine off.
CAUTION:
Turn steering wheel while filling reservoir tank with fluid so as not to lower fluid level below the
MIN line.
2. Start engine and hold steering wheel at each lock position for 3 seconds at idle to check for fluid leakage.
3. Repeat step 2 above several times at approximately 3 second intervals.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more than 10 seconds. (There is the possi-
bility that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check fluid for bubbles and while contamination.HOT : Fluid temperature 50 - 80
C (122 - 176F)
COLD : Fluid temperature 0 - 30
C (32 - 86F)

until bubbles and white contamination drain out.
6. Stop the engine, and then check fluid level.

STEERING WHEEL
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
STEERING WHEELPFP:48430
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNGS000D8
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering col-
umn assembly.
Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
Check steering gear assembly mounting bolts and nut for looseness. Refer to PS-18, "COMPONENTS" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn
steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on
the outer circumference.
When the measurement value is outside the standard value, check backlash for each joint of steering col-
umn assembly and installation condition of steering gear assembly.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL
Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the
correct position.
Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "Wheel Alignment Inspection"
(2WD), FSU-23, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" (AWD).
Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if
steering wheel is not in the neutral position.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating temperature. [Make sure temperature of fluid is
approximately 50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).]
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 540
from neutral position.
NOTE:
Multiply the distance (L) from the hook of spring scale to the
center of steering wheel by the measurement value with a spring
scale.
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check
rack sliding force and relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump.
Regarding relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump, refer to PS-29,
"CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE" .
a. Disconnect lower joint and steering knuckle from steering gear assembly. Refer to PS-13, "
COMPO-
NENTS" , FAX-5, "COMPONENT" .
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has reached normal operating temperature. Steering wheel axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Steering wheel play : 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)
Steering wheel turning
force: 7.45 Nꞏm (0.76 kg-m, 66 in-lb)

c. While pulling outer socket slowly in 11 . 5 m m (0.453 in) range
from neutral position, make sure rack sliding force is within
specification.
d. If rack sliding force is not within specification, overhaul steering
gear assembly.
CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Place
front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on
stands. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning
angles for LH and RH road wheels.
With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to
full right stop and measure the turning angles.
Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.
Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that
rack stroke is outside of the standard.
Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assem-
bly, steering column assembly and front suspension compo-
nents for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are
different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any
non-standard condition exists.
