PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
NOTE:
 For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
 Perform aiming if the vehicle front body has been repaired and/or the headlamp assembly has been
replaced.
Before performing aiming adjustm ent, check the following.  Adjust the tire pressure to the specification.
 Fill with fuel, engine coolant and each oil.
 Maintain the unloaded vehicle condition. (Remove luggage from the passenger compartment and the trunk
room.)
NOTE:
Do not remove the temporary tire, jack and on-vehicle tool.
 Wipe out dirt on the headlamp. CAUTION:
Never use organic solvent (thinner, gasoline etc.)
 Ride alone on the driver seat.
AIMING ADJUSTMENT SCREW
 Turn the aiming adjusting screw for adjustment.
 For the position and direction of the adjusting screw, refer to the figure.
NOTE:
A screwdriver or hexagonal wrench [6 mm (0.24 in)] can be used
for adjustment.
Aiming Adjustment ProcedureINFOID:0000000006213993
1. Place the screen. NOTE:
 Stop the vehicle facing the wall.
 Place the board on a plain road vertically.
2. Face the vehicle with the screen. Maintain 10 m (32.8 ft) between the front fog lamp center and the
screen.
3. Start the engine. Turn the front fog lamp ON. NOTE:
Shut off the headlamp light with the board to pr event from illuminating the adjustment screen.
CAUTION:
Never cover the lens surface with a tape etc. The lens is made of resin.
4. Adjust the cutoff line height (A) with the aiming adjus tment screw so that the distance (X) between the hor-
izontal center line of front fog lamp (H) and (A) becomes 200 mm (7.87 in).

5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000006271994
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precautions for SuspensionINFOID:0000000006225635
 When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening mu st be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Spilled oil might shorten the life of rubb er bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and l ubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
 After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
 Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones w hen installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,
tighten as they are.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
InspectionINFOID:0000000006225640
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
Check the following:
 Tires for improper air pressure and wear
 Road wheels for runout: Refer to WT-64, "
Inspection".
 Wheel bearing axial end play: Refer to FA X - 7 , "
Inspection" (2WD), FAX-16, "Inspection" (4WD).
 Lower link and upper link ball joint axial end play: Refer to FSU-15, "
Inspection" and FSU-18, "Inspection".
 Shock absorber operation.
 Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
 Lower link for cracks, deformation and other damage
 Vehicle height (posture)
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
- This type of alignment is recomm ended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
- The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that t he vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
- The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
- The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.
 Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
- Your alignment equipment should be regularly ca librated in order to give correct information.
- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equi pment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-
ule.
ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specificati ons listed in this Service Manual.
 When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Never use these indicators.
- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-
rect.
- This may result in an ERROR.
 Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Never use this “Rolling Compensation” method.
- Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installi ng the alignment targets or head units, raise the vehi-
cle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
- See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.
AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006225641
CAMBER, CASTER
1. Adjust with the front/rear side adjusting bolts (1) on the lower link
(2).
2. See the following table for the amount of cam bolt scale move- ment and the variation of camber and caster.
CAUTION:
Align the adjusting bolt cutout with the stamp of lower link
bracket.
