Page 1748 of 2267
lCheck suspension ball joint end play.
a. Jack up front of vehicle and set the stands.
b. Clamp dial indicator onto transverse link and place indicator
tip on lower edge of brake caliper.
c. Make sure front wheels are straight and brake pedal is
depressed.
d. Place a pry bar between transverse link and inner rim of road
wheel.
e. While raising and releasing pry bar, observe maximum dial
indicator value.
Vertical end play:
0mm(0in)
f. If ball joint vertical end play exists, remove transverse link
and recheck the ball joint. Refer to ªFRONT SUSPENSIONº,
FA-32.
Front Wheel Bearing
lCheck that wheel bearings operate smoothly.
lCheck axial end play.
Axial end play:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or less
lIf axial end play is not within specification or wheel bearing
does not turn smoothly, replace wheel bearing assembly.
Refer to ªWheel Hub and Knuckleº, ªFRONT AXLEº, FA-FA-
11 .
Front Wheel Alignment
Before checking front wheel alignment, be sure to make a pre-
liminary inspection (Unladen*).
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand
tools and mats in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove tire and check wheel runout.
Wheel runout:
Refer to SDS, FA-35.
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check front suspension for looseness.
5. Check steering linkage for looseness.
6. Check that front shock absorbers work correctly by using the
standard bounce test.
7. Check vehicle posture (Unladen).

checks and inspections themselves, or they can be carried out by a NISSAN dealer.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically, unless otherwise specified.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge weekly when at a service station, including the spare,
and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or exces-
sive wear.
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly.
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
function correctly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch prevents the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication more
often.MA-54

are all operating correctly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.
Warning lights and buzzers/chimesMake sure that all warning lights and buzzers/chimes
are functioning correctly.
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play. Check for changes in the steering
operation, such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in.)
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing
for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-54

Rear Wheel Alignment
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Make following checks. Adjust, repair or replace if necessary.
lCheck tires for wear and for improper inflation.
lCheck rear wheel bearings for excessive play.
lCheck wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove tire and check wheel runout.
Wheel runout: Refer to SDS in FA section.
lCheck that rear shock absorber functions correctly.
lCheck rear axle and rear suspension parts for excessive
play.
lCheck vehicle posture (Unladen*).
*: Fuel, radiator and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand
tools and mats in designated positions.
CAMBER
Camber is preset at factory and cannot be adjusted.
Camber:
Refer to SDS (RA-14).
lIf the camber is not within specification, inspect and replace
any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.
TOE-IN
Toe-in is preset at factory and cannot be adjusted.
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If out of
specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear
suspension parts.
WARNING:
lAlways perform following procedure on a flat surface.
lMake sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the 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. This mark is a measuring
point.
4. Measure distance ªAº (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180
degrees (1/2 turn).
If the 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 ªBº (front side).
Total toe-in:
Refer to SDS, RA-14.
