STEERING WHEEL
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000001327712
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
 Check installation condition of steering gear assemb ly, front suspension, axle and steering column.
 Check if movement exists when steering wheel is mo ved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
 Check if the mounting bolts for steering gear assembly are loose or not. Refer to PS-17
.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Set tires to the straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and mea-
sure steering wheel movement on the outer circumfe rence 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-5,
"Wheel Alignment Inspection".
1. Set vehicle to the straight direction, chec k if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remo ve steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot adjust in the two teeth of steering gear assembly, loosen outer socket lock
nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust outer so cket by the same amount in the opposite direction.
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 te mperature. [Make sure temperature of fluid is
approximately 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F).]
NOTE:
Tires need to be inflated normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has been turned 360 ° from neutral position.
NOTE:
Multiply the distance L from the hook of spring balance to the
center of steering wheel by the measurement value with a spring
balance.
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-27, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service".

STEERING WHEEL
a. Disconnect lower joint and steering knuckle from steering gear assembly. Refer to PS-12, "Removal and
Installation", FA X - 4 , "Removal and Installation", FAX-11, "Removal and Installation".
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steer ing fluid has reached normal operating temperature.
c. While pulling outer socket slowly in ±11.5 mm ( ±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 the toe-in inspection. Placefront wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands
so that vehicle can be level. Check the maximum inner and outer
wheel turning angles for LH and RH road wheels.
 Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right and left, measure the turning angle.
 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 assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension components for
wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the
specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condi-
tion exists.

POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE
Gear Housing Assembly
Check gear housing assembly for damage and scratches (inner wall). Replace it, if necessary.
Outer Socket and Inner Socket
Swing Torque Hook a spring balance at the point shown in the figure. Confirm ifthe reading is within the specification. When ball stud and inner
socket start moving the measured value must be within the specifi-
cation. If the reading is outside the specification, replace socket.
Rotating Torque Using a preload gauge (SST), check if reading is within the valuespecified below. If the value is outside the standard, replace outer
sockets.
Axial End Play Apply load of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) to ball stud axially. Use a dialgauge to measure the amount of the movement that the stud
makes. Check if the reading is within the specified below. If the
value is outside the standard, replace outer and inner sockets.
ASSEMBLY
1. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring. Put an O-ring into rack Teflon ring.

CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE (VQ35DE MODELS)
CAUTION:
Before starting work, confirm belt tension is proper.
1. Connect oil pressure gauge (SST) and oil pressure gauge adapter (SST) between oil pump discharge connector and high
pressure hose and then bleed air from the hydraulic circuit.
2. Start engine. Allow engine to run until tank temperature reaches 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F).
CAUTION:
 Warm up engine with shut-o ff valve fully opened. If engine
is started with shut-off val ve closed, fluid pressure in
power steering pump increases to maximum. This will
raise fluid temperature excessively.
 Be careful not to contact hose with belt when engine is
started.
3. With engine at idle, close shut-off valve and read the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Do not close shut-off valve of pressu re gauge for more than 10 seconds.
4. After measurement, open shut-off valve slowly. If relief oil pressure is outside the specificat ion, disassemble and repair oil pump. Refer to PS-29, "
Disas-
sembly and Assembly (VQ35DE Models)".
5. After inspection, disconnect oil pressure gauge ( SST) and oil pressure gauge adapter (SST) from hydrau-
lic circuit, connect oil pump discharge connector and high pressure hose. Add fluid and bleed air from
hydraulic circuit thoroughly.
Refer to PS-7, "
Air Bleeding Hydraulic System".

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
SILICONE GREASE
Used in place of UHMW tape that will be visible or not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
CONFIRM THE REPAIR
Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Generic Squeak and Rattle TroubleshootingINFOID:0000000001328031
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. Cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noi se. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas).Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or ra ttle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation pr ocedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them wh ile driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J43980) to repair the noise.
TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
