8. Remove oil piping (high pressure side and low pressure side)
from steering gear assembly, then drain fluid from piping.
9. Remove lower joint mounting bolt of lower joint shaft.
10. Remove nuts of steering gear assembly using power tool, then remove bolts and steering gear assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

After removing/installing or replacing steering components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6,
"Front Wheel Alignment" .

After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-62,
"Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

With steering wheel in straight ahead position, make sure slit of
lower joint fits with the projection on rear cover cap, while check-
ing that mark on steering gear assembly aligns with mark on
rear cover cap

After installation, bleed the air from the steering hydraulic system. Refer to PS-6, "Air Bleeding Hydraulic
System" .

Rear Wheel Alignment Adjusting Bolts
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
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-27, "
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-49, "
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-47, "
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.

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.

4. While pressing tabs, pull lighting and turn signal switch toward
driver door and disconnect from base.
5. Remove the screws, release the clip, and remove the spiral cable.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble spiral cable.

Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
6. Remove the spiral cable connectors. CAUTION:
With the steering linkage disconnected, the spiral cable may snap by turning the steering wheel
beyond the limited number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclockwise about 2.5
turns from the neutral position.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel. Make
sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position. The neutral
position is detected by turning left 2.6 revolutions from the right
end position and ending with the knob at the top.

If equipped with VDC, refer to BRC-62, "Adjustment of Steering
Angle Sensor Neutral Position" for steering angle sensor adjust-
ment.

After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make sure
no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Operation
Check" .
CAUTION:

The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is not installed in the correct position.

With the steering linkage disconnected, the cable may snap
by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited number of
turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclockwise
about 2.5 turns from the right end position.
