Front Suspension PartsINFOID:0000000003532636
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 , "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Ser-
vice" 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 AlignmentINFOID:0000000003532637
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 , "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service".
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 FSU-5,

COIL SPRING AND SHOCK ABSORBER
COIL SPRING AND SHOCK ABSORBER
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000003532638
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove the shock absorber lower bolt using power tool.
3. Remove the three shock absorber upper nuts using power tool.
4. Remove the coil spring and shock absorber assembly.
• Turn steering knuckle out to gain enough clearance for
removal.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• The lower seat step (2) in the shock absorber assembly (1) faces
outside of vehicle.
- Upper spring insulator (3)
-⇐: Front
• Tighten all nuts and bolts to specification. Refer to FSU-5, "
Com-
ponent" .
• When installing wheel and tire, refer to WT-7, "
Rotation".
Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000003532639
DISASSEMBLY
1. Set the shock absorber in a vise, then loosen (without removing)
the piston rod lock nut as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not remove piston rod lock nut at this time.
2. Compress the spring using tool until the shock absorber mount-
ing insulator can be turned by hand.
WARNING:
Make sure that the pawls of the two tools are firmly hooked
on the spring. The spring compressors must be tightened
alternately and evenly so as not to tilt the spring.
3. Remove the piston rod lock nut.
• Discard the piston rod lock nut, use a new nut for assembly.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shock Absorber Assembly
• Check for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension.
• Check for oil leakage on welded or gland packing portions.
• Check piston rod for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.
Mounting Insulator and Rubber Parts
Check cemented rubber-to-metal portion for separation or cracks. Check rubber parts for deterioration and
replace if necessary.
Coil Spring
• 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 and
upper end must be positioned as shown.
• Shock absorber mounting insulator (1)
• Lower end (2)
• Upper end (3)
•⇐: Flat tail
2. Install upper spring insulator (3) with studs located in line with
lower shock mount and in lower seat step. The lower seat step
(2) in the shock absorber assembly (1) faces outside of vehicle.
•⇐: Front
3. Tighten the piston rod lock nut to specification. Refer to FSU-5,
"Component" .
• Use a new piston rod lock nut for assembly.Front spring free height
