Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000001327109
CAUTION:
Sub fuel level sensor unit cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
DISASSEMBLY
Remove fuel level sensor unit as follows.
1. Disconnect harness connector.
 Hold connector by fingers and pull it out, because there is no
stopper release tab.
2. Using suitable tool, pull up tabs points as shown in the figure (two points) to release the lock.
CAUTION:

in direction shown by the arrow.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble fuel filt er and fuel pump assembly.
ASSEMBLY
1. Check for damage of fuel level sensor unit installa tion position on the side of fuel filter and fuel pump
assembly.
2. Slide fuel level sensor unit until it aligns to installation groove, then insert it until stop.  After inserting, apply force in reverse direction (removal direction) to ensure it cannot be pulled out.
3. Connect harness connector.  Securely insert harness connector until it stops.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000001327537
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 bet ween 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-10.
Wheel Alignment InspectionINFOID:0000000001327538
DESCRIPTION
 Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and l ubricant 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 recomm ended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
- The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that t he 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 ca librated in order to give correct information.
- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equi pment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-
ule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specificati ons listed in this Service Manual.
 When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-
rect.
- This may result in an ERROR.
 Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). DO NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
