COIL SPRING AND SHOCK ABSORBER
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
2. Using a spring compressor (commercial service tool), compress
coil spring between rubber seat and spring lower seat (on shock
absorber) until coil spring with a spring compressor is free.
CAUTION:
Be sure a spring compressor is securely attached coil
spring. Compress coil spring
3. Make sure coil spring with a spring compressor between rubber
seat and spring lower seat (shock absorber) is free and then
remove piston rod lock nut while securing the piston rod tip so
that piston rod does not turn.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shock Absorber Inspection
Check the following:

Shock absorber for deformation, cracks or damage, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.

Piston rod for damage, uneven wear or distortion, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.

For oil leakage, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
Shock Absorber Mounting Bracket and Rubber Parts Inspection
Check shock absorber mounting bracket for cracks and rubber parts for wear. Replace it if a malfunction is
detected
Coil Spring Inspection
Check coil spring for cracks, wear or damage, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not damage shock absorber piston rod when installing components to 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.

CAUTION:

Install coil spring as shown in the figure with large diame-
ter side [100 mm (3.94 in)] up and small diameter side [90

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
DescriptionNAS0009A
Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper servicing. These precautions are not
described in each individual section.
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NAS0009B
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

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/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery DisconnectNAS000BI
NOTE:

Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK
position, then disconnect both battery cables.

After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.

Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.
This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit.
If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure
below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Carry the Intelligent Key or insert it to the key slot and turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Precautions for Procedures without Cowl Top CoverNAS0009E
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
General PrecautionsNAS0009F

Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without
proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to
properly ventilate the area before working with hazardous mate-
rials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working
on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.

When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.

Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45

To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.

Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.

Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.

Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.

Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.

Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.

After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.

Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.

Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recom-
mended special tools where specified for safe and efficient ser-
vice repairs.

When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.

Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystNAS0009G
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.

Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.

When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.
