INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the following items, and replace the part if necessary.
• Check components for deformation, cracks, and other damage.
• Check boots of transverse link and steering outer so cket ball joint for breakage, axial end play, and swing
torque. Refer to FSU-10, "

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Wheel Hub
• Check wheel hub for cracks (with magnetic exploration or dye testing). Replace if necessary.
Steering Knuckle
• Check steering knuckle for deformation, cracks, and other damage. Replace if any non-standard conditions
are found.
Snap Rings
• Check snap ring for wear or cracks. Replace if necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
Check wheel bearing rotating torque as per the following instructions.
NOTE:
The adequacy of turning torque can be judged from a measurement value by a spring balancer.
1. For a proper fit of the bearing, turn the wheel hub clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively, 10 times
or more with a press-fit load applied.
2. Set a suitable tool on strut mounting hole (upper). Measure rotating torque at an rpm of 8 - 12 rpm.
• If the turning torque cannot be obtained by the above method, measure the torque, according to the instructions below.
- Install drive shaft and tighten the hub lock nut to the specified
torque. Rotate the wheel hub to fit properly.
- Set a suitable tool on a wheel nut and measure turning torque at turning speeds of 8 to 12 rpm.
INSPECTION BEFORE INSTALLATION
Check wheel sensor rotor for foreign matter. Clean the rotor, if necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check wheel sensor harness to be sure the connectors are fully seated. Refer to BRC-140, "FRONT
WHEEL SENSOR : Removal and Installation".
2. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "
Inspection".

5. Remove the cotter pin from the drive shaft.
6. Hold the wheel hub using Tool. Loosen the wheel hub lock nut.
7. Using a piece of wood and a suitable tool, tap on the wheel hub lock nut to disengage the drive shaft from the wheel hub.
CAUTION:
• Do not place the drive shaft joint at an extreme angle. Also be careful not to overextend slide
joint.
• Do not allow the drive shaft to hang down without support.
NOTE:
Use a suitable puller if the drive shaft cannot be separated from the wheel hub even after performing the
above procedure.
8. Remove the wheel hub lock nut.
9. Remove the nut and bolt from the lower ball joint. Disconnect the steering knuckle from the transverse
link.

12. Separate the boot from the joint sub-assembly.
13. Screw a suitable tool (A) into the joint sub-assembly screw part to a length of 30 mm (1.18 in) or more. Support the drive shaft
with one hand and pull out the joint sub-assembly from the shaft.
CAUTION:
• Align the suitable tool an d the drive shaft. Remove the
joint sub-assembly by pull ing firmly and uniformly.
• If the joint sub-assembly cannot be pulled out, try after removing the drive shaft from the vehicle. Refer to FA X -
22, "Disassembly and Assembly".
14. Remove the circular clip (1) from the shaft.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT BOOT
INSTALLATION
1. Clean the old grease from the joint sub-assembly using paper waste.
2. Fill the serration slot on the joint sub-assembly (1) with NISSANgenuine grease or equivalent until the serration slot and ball
groove become full to the brim.
CAUTION:
After applying the grease, use paper waste to wipe off the
grease that has oozed out.
NOTE:
Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts
information.
3. Install the outer boot and the boot bands to the shaft. CAUTION:
• Wrap the serration on the shaft with tape to protect the
boot from damage.
• Do not reuse the boot.
• Do not reuse the boot bands.
4. Remove the tape wrapped around the serration on the shaft.
5. Position the circular clip (1) on the groove at the shaft edge. CAUTION:

NOTE:
A drive joint inserter is recommended when installing the circular
clip.
6. Align the shaft and the joint sub-assembly. Assemble the shaft with the joint sub-assembly while holding the circular clip.
7. Install the joint sub-assembly (1) to the shaft using a suitable tool.
CAUTION:
• Make sure the circular clip is properly positioned on the
groove of the joint sub-assembly.
• Confirm that the joint sub-assembly is correctly engaged while rotating the drive shaft.

If there is grease on the bo ot mounting surfaces (indicated
by “*” marks) on the shaft or the joint sub-assembly, the
boot may come off. Remo ve all grease from the boot
mounting surfaces.
10. To prevent the deformation of the boot, adjust the boot installa- tion length to the specified value by inserting a suitable tool into
the inside of the boot from the large diameter side of the boot
and discharging the inside air.
CAUTION:
• The boot may break if the boot in stallation length is not correct.
• Be careful not to touch the inside of the boot with the tip of the suitable tool.
11. Install new large and small boot bands securely using Tool (A). CAUTION:
