10. Install side bearing adjusters into gear carrier.
11. Apply differential gear oil to the side bearings, and install the dif-
ferential case assembly with the side bearing outer races into
the gear carrier.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse side bearing outer race when replacing side
bearing inner race (replace as a set).
12. Install the side bearing caps with the matching marks aligned. NOTE:
Do not tighten at this step. This allows further tightening of side
bearing adjusters.
13. Tighten each side bearing adjuster alternately turning drive gear.
14. Check and adjust tooth contact, backlash, drive gear runout and total preload torque. Refer to FFD-16,
"Tooth Contact" , FFD-17, "Backlash" , FFD-15, "Drive Gear Runout" and FFD-15, "Total Preload Torque"
.
Recheck above items.

After adjusting tooth contact and backlash secure side bear-
ing adjuster with screws and tighten side bearing cap bolt to
the specified torque. Refer to FFD-14, "
COMPONENTS" .
15. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new side oil seal. Then drive the new side oil seal in evenly to the gear carrier using suitable tool.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse side oil seal.

Do not incline the new side oil seal when installing.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
PrecautionsEES00253

When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with
the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immedi-
ately.

Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The
spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.

After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.

Lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICEPFP:00000
Front Suspension PartsEES00258
Check front suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear and
other damage.

Shake each front wheel to check for excessive play.
If looseness is noted, inspect wheel bearing end play, then
check ball joint end play. Refer to FA X - 5 , "
WHEEL BEARING
INSPECTION" and FSU-15, "Inspection" .

Make sure that the cotter pin is inserted (4WD only).

Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.

Check shock absorber for oil leakage and other damage.

Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks and other damage.
Front Wheel AlignmentEES00259
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn suspension parts before making
any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-5, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FA X - 5 , "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the rear suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-20, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .

Verify the level using Consult-II memory register 1103 and set to 0 ± 10 mm (0 ± 0.39 in) as necessary.
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 capable 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. Suspension component torques : Refer to

Check for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.

Check the free spring height.
ASSEMBLY
1. When installing coil spring on shock absorber, the lower end (2)
and upper end (3) must be positioned as shown.

Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recom-
mended special tools where specified for safe and efficient ser-
vice repairs.

When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.

Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystEAS001F8
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.

Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.

When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.

Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to
the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precautions for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Required)EAS001KJ
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI number (Research octane number 91) can be used, but only under the following precautions:

have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium
gasoline as soon as possible.

avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance, the use of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel

Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or
hitting it.

Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to
rapid temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it.
If water is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in
the vehicle.

Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.

Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.

Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the
upper and lower covers.

When using a DMM, be careful not to let test probes get close to
each other to prevent the power transistor in the control unit
from damaging battery voltage because of short circuiting.

When checking input and output signals of the control unit, use
the specified check adapter.
SMJ INSTALLATION
To install SMJ, tighten bolts until orange “fulltight” mark appears and
then retighten to specified torque as required.
CAUTION:
Do not overtighten bolts, otherwise, they may be damaged.

Filament CheckEIS005Z4
1. When measuring voltage, wrap tin foil around the top of the neg-
ative probe.Then press the foil against the wire with your finger.
2. Attach probe circuit tester (in Volt range) to middle portion of each filament.
3. If a filament is burned out, circuit tester registers 0 or battery voltage.
4. To locate burned out point, move probe to left and right along fil- ament. Test needle will swing abruptly when probe passes the
point.
