SILICONE GREASE
Used instead 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:0000000005396545
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. The 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 silicone 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 while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the ar eas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) 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 bumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
9. Tap flange using a soft block such as wood, and carefully pullsecondary piston assembly straight out to prevent cylinder inner
wall from being damaged.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
• Check the inner wall of cylinder for damage, wear, corrosion, and pin holes. Replace cylinder body if neces-sary.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Never use mineral oils such as kerosene or g asoline during the cleaning and assembly processes.
• Make sure that there is no foreign material such as dirt and dust on the inner wall of cylinder, piston,
and piston cup. Be careful not to damage parts with a service tool when assembling.
• Do not drop parts. If a part is dropped, do not use it.
1. Apply brake fluid to the inner wall of cylinder body, primary pis- ton assembly and secondary piston assembly.
2. Insert secondary piston and primary piston assembly into cylin- der body in this order.
CAUTION:
• Pay attention to the orientation of piston cup, and insert
straight to prevent cup from being caught by the inner
wall of cylinder.
• Always replace inner kit as a set.
3. Set the slit of secondary piston towards the piston stopper mounting hole of cylinder body while pushing in the primary pis-
ton. Then install the piston stopper through the slit of secondary
piston.
4. Insert plate and guide assembly into cylinder body. CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage rod of primary piston.
• Pay attention to the orientation of guide assembly.
• Do not drop O-ring.
• Be careful the guide and/or plate are not inserted at an
angle to cylinder inner wall.

Disassembly and Assembly of Brake Caliper AssemblyINFOID:0000000005397001
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the caliper assembly. Refer to BR-30, "Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper Assembly".
2. Remove sliding pin bolts and remove cylinder body from the torque member. Remove pads, shims, pad return spring
(AD22VK) and pad retainers from torque member as necessary.
CAUTION:
When removing pad retainer from torque member, lift the
pad retainer in the direction shown by arrow, so as not to
deform it.
3. Remove sliding pins and sliding pin boots from torque member.
4. Place a wooden block as shown, and blow air from union bolt mounting hole to remove piston and piston boot.
