PrecautionsEES001GD
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.

Front Suspension PartsEES001GI
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 FAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING
INSPECTION" and FSU-15, "Inspection" .
Make sure that the cotter pin is inserted (4x4 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 AlignmentEES001GJ
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WAR NIN G:
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 FAX-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-21, "
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 FSU-5,

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EES001GX
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WA RN ING:
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Rear SuspensionEES001GY
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.
Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.

Rear Wheel Alignment Adjusting Bolts
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WA RN ING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface. Use CONSULT-II "EXHAUST SOLE-
NOID" active test to release the air pressure from the rear load leveling air suspension system.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear 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 runout and damage. Refer to WT-5, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play.
5. Check the shock absorbers. Refer to RSU-26, "
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION" .
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 RSU-48, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .
If vehicle height is not within ± 10 mm (0.39 in) of the specification, perform the control unit initialization
procedure. Refer to RSU-46, "
Initialization Procedure" .
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.
