FRONT FOG LAMP
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
Aiming AdjustmentNKS002X9
Front fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.

Place vehicle on level ground.

See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and
tools). Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning adjusting screw.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of front fog lamp lens as shown at left.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge of the high intensity zone is 100 mm (3.94 in) below the height of
front fog lamp centers as shown at left.

When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover headlamps
and opposite front fog lamp.

POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
CAUTION:

Secure steering gear assembly with a vise, using copper
plates or something similar to prevent it from being dam-
aged. Do not grip cylinder with a vise.

Before performing disassembly, clean steering gear assem-
bly with kerosene. Be careful not to bring any kerosene into
contact with the discharge and return port connectors.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove cylinder tubes from gear housing assembly.
2. Remove rear cover cap from gear housing assembly.
3. Measure adjusting screw height from gear housing assembly, then loosen adjusting screw.
CAUTION:

Do not turn adjusting screw more than twice.

Replace steering gear assembly when adjusting screw is
removed or more than twice.
4. Use a rear cover wrench (SST) to remove rear cover from pinion assembly.
5. Remove O-ring with a flat-bladed screwdriver, and pull out rear cover.
6. Remove pinion assembly from gear housing assembly. CAUTION:
In order to protect oil seal from any damage, pull pinion
assembly out straightly.
7. Loosen lock nut of outer socket, and remove outer socket.
8. Remove boot clamps of the small diameter side and the large diameter side, then remove boot.
CAUTION:
When removing boots, be careful not to damage inner
socket and gear housing assembly. If they are damaged, change them to avoid oil leaks.

10. Confirm projection on rear cover cap nearly fit with marking position on gear housing assembly.
11. Apply recommended thread locking sealant to the thread (2 turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly measured
before disassembling.
12. Rotate pinion ten times whole range of rack so that parts get to fit with each other.
13. Measure pinion rotating torque within from –180 ° to +180 °,
make preload gauge (SST) and torque adapter (SST) in rack
neutral position, then hold preload gauge (SST) at maximum
torque.
14. After loosening adjusting screw once, tighten it again with torque of 5.4 N·m (0.55 kg-m, 48 in-lb). After that loosen it within 20 ° to
40 °.
15. Measure pinion rotating torque with torque adapter (SST) and preload gauge (SST), then confirm whether it's reading is within
the specified value. If the reading is not within the specified
value, readjust screw angle with adjusting screw. Change gear
assembly to new one, if the reading is still not within the speci-
fied value or the rotating torque of adjusting screw is less than 5
N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb).
16. Turn pinion fully to the end of the left with inner socket to gear housing assembly.
17. Set dial gauge to rack as shown in the figure. Measure vertical movement of rack when pinion is turned counterclockwise with
torque of 19.6 N·m (2.0 kg-m, 14 ft-lb). Check reading is within
the specified value. If reading is outside of the specification,
readjust screw angle with adjusting screw. If reading is still out-
side of specification, or if the rotating torque of adjusting screw is
less than 5 N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb), replace steering gear
assembly.

4. If tooth contact is improperly adjusted, follow the procedure
below to adjust the pinion height (dimension X).

If the tooth contact is near the face (face contact), or near the
heel (heel contact), thicken pinion height adjusting washers to
move drive pinion closer to drive gear.
Refer to RFD-38, "
Pinion Height Adjusting Washer" .

If the tooth contact is near the flank (flank contact), or near the
toe (toe contact), thin pinion height adjusting washers to move
drive pinion farther from drive gear.
Refer to RFD-38, "
Pinion Height Adjusting Washer" .
Backlash
1. Remove rear cover. Refer to RFD-33, "Differential Assembly" .
2. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back- lash.

If the backlash is outside of the specified value, change the
thickness of side bearing adjusting washer.
CAUTION:
Do not change the total amount of washers as it will change the bearing preload.

Backlash: 0.10 - 0.15 mm (0.0039 - 0.0059 in)
When the backlash is large: Make drive gear back side adjusting washer thicker,
and drive gear tooth side adjusting washer thinner by
the same amount. Refer to RFD-38, "

When the backlash is small: Make drive gear back side adjusting washer thinner,
and drive gear tooth side adjusting washer thicker by
the same amount. Refer to RFD-38, "

4. Install bearing caps in their correct locations and tighten bearing
cap mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to RFD-18,
"COMPONENTS" .
5. Turn the carrier several times to seat the bearings.
6. Measure the turning torque of the carrier at the drive gear mounting bolts with a spring gauge.
7. If the turning torque is outside the specification, use a thicker/ thinner side bearing adjusting washer to adjust. Refer to RFD-
38, "Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" .
CAUTION:
Select a side bearing adjusting washer for right and left
individually.
8. Record the total amount of washer thickness required for the correct carrier side bearing preload.
Pinion Gear Height
1. Make sure all parts are clean and that the bearings are well lubricated.
2. Assemble the pinion gear bearings into the differential shim selector tool.

Pinion front bearing; make sure the J-34309-3 pinion front
bearing seat is secured tightly against the J-34309-2 gauge
anvil. Then turn the pinion front bearing pilot, J-34309-5, to
secure the bearing in its proper position.

Pinion rear bearing; the pinion rear bearing pilot, J-34309-8,
is used to center the pinion rear bearing only. The pinion rear
bearing locking seat, J-34309-4, is used to lock the bearing to
the assembly.

Installation of J-34309-9 and J-34309-16; place a suitable
2.5 mm (0.098 in) thick plain washer between J-34309-9 and
J-34309-16. Both surfaces of J-34309-9 and J-34309-16 must
be parallel with a clearance of 2.5 mm (0.098 in).
3. Install the pinion rear bearing inner race into gear carrier. Then place the pinion preload shim selector tool, J-34309-1, gauge
screw assembly.
4. Assemble the pinion front bearing inner race and the J-34309-2 gauge anvil. Assemble them together with the J-34309-1 gauge
screw in gear carrier. Make sure that the pinion height gauge
plate, J-34309-16, will turn a full 360 degrees. Tighten the two
sections together by hand.
5. Turn the assembly several times to seat the bearings.
6. Measure the turning torque at the end of the J-34309-2 gauge anvil using preload gauge.
