TRANSVERSE LINK
TRANSVERSE LINK
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001703727
REMOVAL
1. Remove front tires using power tool.
2. Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.
3. Remove transverse link nuts and bolts, then remove transverse
link from front suspension member.
NOTE:
When removing LH transverse link it may be necessay to lower
the suspension member in order to remove bolts to avoid con-
tact with the transaxle.
a. Set jack under front suspension member.
b. Loosen RH upper link bolts, LH upper link bolt (front suspension
member side), front suspension member bolts (left/right). Lower
the front suspension member in order to remove transverse link
bolts.
4. Remove transverse link.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check the following:
• Transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if necessary.
• Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if necessary.
Ball Joint Inspection
Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection
NOTE:
Before measurement, move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
• Hook a spring balance at the cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring
balance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.
• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assem-
bly.
Axial End Play Inspection
• Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.
• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For tightening torque, refer to FSU-9, "
Component" .
• Perform final tightening of bolts and at the front suspension member installation position (rubber bushing)
under unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-2, "
Precaution for
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"" .

TOW TRUCK TOWING
Tow Truck TowingINFOID:0000000001702452
CAUTION:
• All applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
• It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during tow-
ing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
• Always attach safety chains before towing.
• When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order. If
any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
NISSAN recommends that the vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground as illustrated.
TOWING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE MODEL WITH FOUR WHEELS ON GROUND
CAUTION:
Never tow an automatic transaxle model with four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious
and expensive damage to the transaxle.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a Stuck Vehicle)INFOID:0000000001702453
• Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake or cooling
systems.
• Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.
WARNING:
• Do not spin the tires at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury.
Parts of the vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.
• Install removable recovery hook securely using wheel nut wrench.
