REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000001703736
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are within specifications.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check shock absorber for oil leakage, damage and replace it if necessary.  
Wheel AlignmentInspectionINFOID:0000000001703737
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-5
 .
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-4, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
4. Shock absorber operation.
5. Each mounting part of suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Rear suspension beam for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Vehicle height (posture).
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.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific alignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-12, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*)" .
1. 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 alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct.
• This may result in an ERROR.
2. 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.
• Use the “Jacking Compensation” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
• See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.

Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001703739
REMOVAL
1. Remove rear tires from vehicle using power tool.
2. Remove wheel sensor from wheel hub and bearing assembly and rear suspension beam. Refer to BRC-
32 .
CAUTION:
Do not pull on wheel sensor harness.
3. Remove shock absorber mask from trunk side finisher using a flat-bladed screwdriver. Refer to EI-51
 .
CAUTION:
Wrap the tip of a screwdriver with cloth to avoid damaging components.
4. Set jack under rear suspension beam. 
5. Remove upper nut of the shock absorber, and then remove
washer (upper), bushing (upper) from shock absorber.
6.
Remove shock absorber lower side bolt.
7. Gradually lower the jack, and remove the bushing (lower),
washer (lower), distance tube, bound bumper cover, bound
bumper and shock absorber from vehicle.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Shock Absorber
Check the following:
• Shock absorber for deformation, cracks or damage, and replace if necessary.
• Piston rod for damage, uneven wear or distortion, and replace  if necessary .
Bound Bumper and Bushing
Check bound bumper and bushing for cracks, deformation or other damage, and replace applicable parts  if
necessary .
INSTALLATION
• Installation is in the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to RSU-7, "Component" .
