Check with the manufacturer of your specific alignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-48, "Wheel
Alignment" .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.

The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct.

This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate ” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.

Use the “Jacking Compensation ” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.

See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER
1. Measure camber of both the right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to specification.
2. If outside of the specified value, adjust the camber using the adjusting bolt in the front lower link.
CAUTION:
After adjusting the camber then check the toe-in.
NOTE:
Camber changes about 0 ° 5' with each graduation of the adjust-
ing bolt.
3. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification.
TOE-IN
1. Bounce the rear of the vehicle up and down two to three times to stabilize the vehicle height. Refer to RSU-49, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on the base line of the tread (rear side) of both of the tires at the same height as the center of the hub. This will be the
measuring points.
4. Measure the distance “A” (rear side) across from tire to tire.
Camber : Refer to
RSU-48, "
Wheel Alignment" .

1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown. Refer to WT-38, "
Road Wheel" .
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check front suspension for looseness.

Balancing WheelsEES001I0
REMOVAL
1. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the wheel.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for wheels.
1. Set wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer imbal- ance value by 1.6 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with
a value closest to the calculated value and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the desig-
nated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.

Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the wheel.
Indicated imbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance
weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 g = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 g = 40 g (1.41 oz)
a. Install balance weight in the position shown.
b. When installing balance weight to wheels, set it into the grooved area on the inner wall of the wheel as shown so that the balance
weight center is aligned with the wheel balancer indication posi-
tion (angle).
CAUTION:

Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.

Balance weights are not reusable; always replace with
new ones.

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weights.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONPFP:00000
Transmitter (Pressure Sensor)EES001IN
REMOVAL
1. Deflate tire. Unscrew transmitter retaining nut and allow transmitter to fall into tire.
2. Gently bounce tire so that transmitter falls to bottom of tire.
Place wheel and tire assembly on tire changing machine and
break both tire beads. Ensure that the transmitter remains at the
bottom of the tire while breaking the bead.
3. Turn tire so that valve hole is at bottom, and gently bounce the tire to ensure transmitter is near valve hole. Carefully lift tire onto
turntable and position valve hole (and transmitter) 270 degrees
from mounting/dismounting head.
4. Lubricate tire well, and remove top side of tire. Reach inside the tire and remove the transmitter.
5. Remove the second side of the tire as normal.
INSTALLATION
1. Place first side of tire onto rim.
2. Mount transmitter on rim and tighten nut to specification.
