APPEARANCE AND NOISE INSPECTION
 Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or crac ks. If damaged, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
 Check the bearings for noise and damage. Repair or replace the bearings as necessary.
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
If a vibration is present at high speed, inspect the propeller shaft runout first.
1. Measure the runout of the propeller shaft tube at several points by rotating the final drive companion
flange with your hands.
2. If the runout exceeds specif ications, disconnect the propeller
shaft at the final drive companion flange; then rotate the com-
panion flange 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° and reconnect the propeller
shaft.
3. Check the runout again. If the r unout still exceeds specifications,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.
4. After installation, check for vibration by driving the vehicle. Limit

 Inspect the propeller shaft runout . If runout exceeds the limit,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.
 While holding the flange yoke on one side, check axial play of the joint as shown. If the journal axial play
exceeds the specification, repair or replace the journal parts.
 Check the propeller shaft tube surf ace for dents or cracks. If dam-
age is detected, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
 After installation, check for vibration by driving the vehicle. Refer to DLN-184, "NVH Troubleshooting Chart"
.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the bolts and nuts. Always install new ones.

1. Put matching marks on the front propeller shaft and flange yoke
as shown.
CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Never damage the front pro-
peller shaft or flange yoke.
2. Remove the snap rings.
3. Push out and remove the journal bearings by lightly tapping the flange yoke with a hammer, taking care not to damage the jour-
nal or flange yoke hole.
NOTE:
Put marks on the disassembled parts so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original positions from which they were removed.
4. Push out and remove the remaining journal bearings at the opposite side by lightly tapping the flange yoke with a hammer,
taking care not to damage the journal or flange yoke hole.
NOTE:
Put marks on the disassembled parts so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original positions from which they were removed.

1. Assemble the journal bearings. Apply multipurpose grease on
the bearing inner surface.
NOTE:
During assembly, use caution so that the needle bearings do not
fall down.
2. Select new snap rings that will provide the specified play in an axial direction of the journal, and install them. Refer to DLN-190,
"Snap Ring".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse snap rings
NOTE:
Select snap rings with a difference in thickness at both sides
within 0.02 mm (0.0008 in).
3. Adjust the thrust clearance between the bearing and snap ring to zero by tapping the yoke.
4. Make sure that the journal moves smoothly and is below the propeller shaft joint flex effort specification.

PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005875031
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
 To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
 Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
 When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
 When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wh eel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005875032
NOTE:
 This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
 Remove and install all control units after disconnecti ng both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″ LOCK ″ position.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS , an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery pow er is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the
″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
