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-10, "Inspection".
• 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:0000000005148109
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-47, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FA X - 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-24, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)" .
• Verify the level using Consult-III memory register 1103 and set to 0 ± 10 mm (0 ± 0.39 in) as necessary.
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 ca pable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
• The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level. Suspension component

< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
KNUCKLE
7. Remove pinch bolt from steering knuckle using power tool, thenseparate 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-10, "
Inspection" .
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Refer to FSU-13, "
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
: Front Rotor Inspection" .
• When installing wheel and tire, refer to WT-49, "
Rotation" .

WHEELS : RotationINFOID:0000000005403160
NOTE:
Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-9, "
Schedule 1" .
1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown. Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
When installing wheel s, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-52, "
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 every
wheel and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat tire.

LEVEL CHECK
• Make sure the fluid level in reservoir tank is between MAX and MIN
lines as shown.
• Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
• If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for leaks.
• If brake warning lamp remains illuminated after parking brake pedal is released, check brake system for fluid leaks.
BRAKE LINES AND CABLES
