REMOVAL
1. Remove wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove engine under cover using power tool.
3. Without disassembling the hydraulic lines, remove caliper torque member bolts using power tool. Then
reposition brake caliper aside with wire. Refer to BR-31, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper and
Rotor" .
NOTE:
Do not press brake pedal while brake caliper is removed.
4. Put alignment mark on disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing assembly, then remove disc rotor.
5. On 4WD model, remove cotter pin, then remove lock nut from drive shaft using power tool. Then remove end of drive shaft from wheel hub and bearing assembly. Refer to FAX-9, "
Removal and Installation" .
6. Remove wheel sensor. Refer to BRC-114, "
Removal and Installation" .
• Inspect the wheel sensor O-ring, replac e the wheel sensor assembly if damaged.
• Clean the wheel sensor hole and mounting surface with a suitable brake cleaner and clean lint-free shop rag. Be careful that dirt and debris do not enter the axle bearing area.
• Apply a coat of suitable grease to the wheel sensor O-ring and mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Do not pull on the wheel sensor harness.
7. Remove wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts using power tool.

Front Suspension PartsINFOID:0000000001534627
Check front suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear and
other damage.
• Shake each front wheel to check for excessive play. If looseness is noted, inspect wheel bearing end play, then check
ball joint end play. Refer to FA X - 6 , "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Ser-
vice" and FSU-7, "Front Suspension Parts".
• Make sure that the cotter pin is inserted (4WD only).
• Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
• Check shock absorber for oil leakage and other damage.
• Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint dust cover for cracks and other damage.
Front Wheel AlignmentINFOID:0000000004915023
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specificat ion, inspect and replace any damaged or worn 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 run out and damage. Refer to WT-45, "
Inspection".
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-6, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
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 FSU-25, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)" .
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is re commended 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 ca pable 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. Suspension component torques : Refer to
FSU-14,
"Component" . SMA525A

7. Remove pinch bolt from steering knuckle using power tool, then separate lower link ball joint from steering knuckle.
8. Remove steering knuckle from vehicle.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check for deformity, cracks and damage on each part, replace if necessary.
• Perform ball joint inspection. Refer to FSU-11, "
Inspection" .
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Refer to FSU-14, "
Component" for tightening torques.
CAUTION:
Use a new cotter pin for installation of lock nut.
• When installing disc rotor on wheel hub and bearing assembly, align the marks.
NOTE:
When not using the alignment mark, refer to BR-7, "
DISC ROTOR
: Inspection" .
• When installing wheel and tire, refer to WT-48, "
Rotation" .

7. Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each
or below.
8. If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-6, "
General Maintenance".
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, tighte n 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 wh eel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
Tire RotationINFOID:0000000001606189
1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-51, "
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 Flui d Level and LeaksINFOID:0000000001606190
• Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” li nes 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.

balance Refer to WT-46, "
