Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are within specifications.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check shock absorber for oil leakage, damage and replace it if necessary.
Wheel AlignmentInspectionINFOID:0000000005931085
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 the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-6
.
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-6, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
4. Shock absorber operation.
5. Each mounting part of suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Rear suspension beam for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Vehicle height (posture).
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.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated. • Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific al ignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-13, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*)" .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
• The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators may not be correct.
• This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com- pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.
• Use the “Jacking Compensation” method. After inst alling the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
• See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.

• Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable align- ment gauge.
• If it is out of the specificati on value, inspect and replace any dam-
aged or worn rear suspension parts.
TOE-IN INSPECTION
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If it is out of the specification, inspect and replace any damaged or
worn rear suspension parts.
WARNING:
• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
• Make sure that no person is in fron t of vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance (A) from rear side.
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn). If wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance (B) from front side. Camber : Refer to
RSU-13, "

Service Notice or Precaution for EPS SystemINFOID:0000000005931271
CAUTION:
Check or confirm the following item wh en performing the trouble diagnosis.
• Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it’s condition from the customer if any
malfunction, such as EPS warn ing lamp turns ON, occurs.
• Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel,
and control unit is genuine part.
• Check if the connection of steer ing column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there is
not looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease, etc).
• Check if the wheel alignment is adjusted properly.
• Check if there is any damage or modification to su spension or body resulting in increased weight or
altered ground clearance.
• Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.
• Check if the battery voltage is proper
• Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.
• Before connecting or disconnect ing the EPS control unit har-
ness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect
battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is applied to
EPS control unit even if igniti on switch is turned “OFF”.
• When connecting or disconnect ing pin connectors into or
from EPS control unit, take care not to damage pin terminals
(bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are no
bends or breaks on EPS control unit pin terminal.
• Before replacing EPS control unit, perform EPS control unit input/output signal inspectio n and make sure whether EPS
control unit functions properly or not. Refer to STC-20, "
Ref-
erence Value".

runout.
a. Remove tire from aluminum wheel and mount on a tire balance machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown.

1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other dam age. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel
runout.
a. Remove tire from steel wheel and mount on a tire balance machine.
b. Set two dial indicators as shown.
c. Set each dial indicator to 0.
d. Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points around the circumference of the wheel.
e. Calculate runout at each point as shown.
f. Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum nega- tive value.
Add the two values to determine total runout. In case a positive
or negative value is not available, use the maximum value (neg-
ative or positive) for total runout. If the total runout value
exceeds the limit, replace steel wheel.Wheel runout

4. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), installtwo balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top another.
5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the bal- ancer machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
7. Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.
8. If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-7, "
General Maintenance".
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
• Perform the ID registration, after tire rotation. Refer to WT-13, "
ID Registration Procedure".
