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.

PRELIMINARY CHECK
Check the following:
Tires for improper air pressure and wear

Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-5, "
Inspection".
Ball joint axial end play of suspension arm and front lower link. Refer to RSU-20, "
Ball Joint".
Shock absorber operation
Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
Each of front lower link, rear lower link, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock absorber for
cracks, deformation, and other damage
Vehicle height (posture)
