Torque NISSAN TEANA 2003 Service Manual

EX-4
EXHAUST SYSTEM


When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each
exhaust pipe.

Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gas leakage.

Temporarily tighten mounting nuts and bolts on the exhaust manifold side, and mounting bolts
and nuts on the vehicle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to
the specified torque.

When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
Seal Bearing (QR20DE)
1. Securely insert seal bearing into exhaust manifold and three
way catalyst assembly side in the direction as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage seal bearing surface when install-
ing.
2. With spring large diameter side facing to exhaust front tube
flange, tighten mounting nut.
3. Make sure that stud bolt does not interfere with flange of
exhaust front tube.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Make sure that clearance between tail tube and rear bumper is even.

With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.

Make sure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.
