2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-28, "
Tire" .
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle
has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles), and also after a wheel
and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat tire.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksINFOID:0000000003533886
• Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir tank.
• If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.
• If the brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid is at the correct
level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking brake
switch.
CheckingBrake Line and CablesINFOID:0000000003533887
1. Check the brake lines and hoses for cracks, deterioration, and
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
CAUTION:
If brake fluid leaks are visible around the brake line joints,
retighten the joint, or replace damaged parts as necessary.
2. Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.

STEERING WHEEL
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000003532824
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
• Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.
• Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
• Check if the mounting nuts for steering gear assembly are loose.
Refer to PS-15
.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and measure
steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point where
tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
• Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
6, "Front Wheel Alignment" .
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositioning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust tie-rods by the same amount in the
opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to operating temperature of 60° – 80°C (140° – 176°F).
4. Tires need to be inflated to specified pressure. Refer to WT-28, "
Tire".
5. Check steering wheel turning force using Tool when steering
wheel has been turned 360° from the neutral position.
6. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, inspect
steering column. Refer to PS-13, "
Disassembly and Assembly" .
7. If steering column meets specification, repair steering gear.
Refer to PS-17, "
Disassembly and Assembly". End play of the axial direction for steering wheel : 0 mm (0 in)

Rear Wheel Alignment Adjusting Bolts
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
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-30, "
Removal and Installation" .
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-44, "
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-42, "
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.
