REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with a power tool.
2. Remove harness of wheel sensor from shock absorber. Refer to BRC-54, "
WHEEL SENSOR" .
CAUTION:
Do not pull on wheel sensor harness.
3. Remove brake hose bracket. Refer to BR-11, "
BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE" .
4. Remove the mounting nut on the upper side of stabilizer connecting rod with a power tool, and then
remove stabilizer connecting rod from transverse link.
5. Remove mounting nut and bolt on the lower side of shock absorber arm with a power tool, and then
remove shock absorber arm from transverse link.
6. Remove cotter pin of transverse link and steering knuckle, and then loosen nut.
7. Remove transverse link from steering knuckle so as not to damage ball joint boot using the ball joint
remover (suitable tool).
CAUTION:
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads and to prevent ball joint remover (suit-
able tool) from suddenly coming off.
8. Remove the mounting bolt on the upper side of shock absorber arm with a power tool, and then remove
shock absorber arm from shock absorber.
9. Remove the mounting nuts of shock absorber mounting bracket, then remove shock absorber from vehi-
cle.
INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to FSU-26, "Components" .

Perform final tightening of bolt and nut at the shock absorber arm lower side (rubber bushing) under
unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-24, "
Wheel Align-
ment Inspection" .

Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking wheel alignment. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to BRC-54, "WHEEL SENSOR" .
Disassembly and AssemblyNES000IV
DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not damage shock absorber piston rod when removing components from shock absorber.
1. Install strut attachment [SST] to shock absorber and secure it in
a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing the strut attachment to shock absorber,
wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect it from damage.

REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with a power tool.
2. Remove shock absorber. Refer to FSU-29, "
COIL SPRING AND SHOCK ABSORBER" .
3. Remove mounting nut and bolt with a power tool, and then remove upper link from steering knuckle.
4. Remove mounting nuts and bolts, and then remove upper link and stopper rubber from vehicle.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check the following:

Upper link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if a malfunction is detected.

Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if a malfunction is
detected.
Ball Joint Inspection
Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection
NOTE:
Before measurement, move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.

Hook a spring balance at cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring bal-
ance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.
Rotating Torque Inspection

Attach mounting nut to ball stud. Make sure that rotating torque
is within specifications with a preload gauge [SST].

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.
Axial End Play Inspection

Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.
INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to FSU-26, "Components" .

Perform final tightening of bolts and nuts at the vehicle installation position (rubber bushing) under
unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-24, "
Wheel Align-
ment Inspection" . Swing torque

RotationNLS00088

Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service inter-
vals. Refer to MA-4, "
GENERAL MAINTENANCE" .

Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:

When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.

Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.

Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksNLS00089

If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesNLS0008A

Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidNLS0008B
1. Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .

Refill with recommended genuine Nissan Super Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid or equivalent DOT 3 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.Tightening torque of wheel nut
