• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points. 
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner dr ops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop 
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leak age of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system. 
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.

If possible, drive the vehicle with  the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information on
the Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or lo cation of the noise. This information can be used to
duplicate the same conditions when you confirm the repair. 
If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive,  to help identify the source of the noise, try to dupli-
cate the noise with the vehicle stopped  by doing one or all of the following:
1) Close a door.
2) Tap or push/pull around the area where the noise appears to be coming from.
3) Rev the engine. 
4) Use a floor jack to recreate vehicle “twist”. 
5) At idle, apply engine load (electrical load, half-clutch on M/T model, drive position on CVT and A/T models).
6) Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hammer.
• Drive the vehicle and attempt to duplicate the conditions  the customer states exist when the noise occurs.
• If it is difficult to duplicate the noise, drive the vehicle slowly on an undulating or rough road to stress the
vehicle body.
CHECK RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS
After verifying the customer concern or symptom, che ck ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related
to that concern or symptom. 
If a TSB relates to the symptom, follow the procedure to repair the noise.
LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE
1. Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pi npoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool
(Chassis Ear: J-39570, Engine Ear:  J-39565 and mechanic's stethoscope).
2. Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by: • removing the components in the area that you suspect the noise is coming from.Do not use too much force when removing clips and fasteners, otherwise clips and fasteners can be 
broken or lost during the repair, resulting in the creation of new noise.
• tapping or pushing/pulling the component that  you suspect is causing the noise.
Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive  force, otherwise the noise will be eliminated only
temporarily.
• feeling for a vibration with your hand by touching the  component(s) that you suspect is (are) causing the
noise.
• placing a piece of paper between components  that you suspect are causing the noise.
• looking for loose components and contact marks. Refer to  EXT-11, "Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting"
.
REPAIR THE CAUSE 
• If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component securely. 
• If the cause is insufficient clearance between components: 
- separate components by repositioning or loos ening and retightening the component, if possible.
- insulate components with a suitable insulator such as urethane pads, foam blocks, felt cloth tape or urethane
tape. A NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-50397) is av ailable through your authorized NISSAN Parts Depart-
ment.
CAUTION: 
Do not use excessive force as many components are  constructed of plastic and may be damaged.
NOTE:
• Always check with the Parts Department  for the latest parts information.
• The materials contained in the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle  Kit (J-50397) are listed on the inside cover of the
kit; and can each be ordered separately as needed.
• The following materials not found in the kit can also be used to repair squeaks and rattles.
- SILICONE GREASE: Use instead of UHMW tape that will  be visible or does not fit. The silicone grease 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.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
- In order to prevent damage to differential side oil seal, place Tool(A) onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft as shown. Slide drive 
shaft into slide joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
• Install new circlip on drive shaft in the circular clip groove on tran- saxle side. Refer to  FAX-20, "Disassembly and Assembly (RH)"
.
CAUTION: 
Make sure the new circlip on the drive shaft is securely fas-
tened.
- After its insertion, try to pull the flange out of the slide joint by hand. If it pulls out, the circlip is  not properly meshed with the transaxle
side gear.
• For QR25DE models, install the retaining bracket  with the notch facing up and follow the bolt tightening
order.
• Align the marks made on rotor and front wheel hub and bearing.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check CVT fluid level and leakage. Refer to  TM-84, "Adjustment" (REOF10D), TM-286, "Adjustment"
(REOF10E).
2. Check wheel alignment. Refer to  FSU-7, "Inspection and Adjustment"
.
3. Adjust the neutral position of the steering angle sensor. Refer to  BRC-58, "Work Procedure"
.
