< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
FRONT LOWER LINK
 Check ball joint. Replace suspension arm assembly if any of thefollowing exists:
- Ball stud is worn.
- Joint is hard to swing.
- Play in axial direction is excessive.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
 Tighten the nuts and bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-19, "Removal and Installation"
.
 Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts for the links (rubber bushing) under unladen condition (unladen condition means that the fuel tank, engine coolant and l ubricants are at the full specification, and the spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions) with the tires on level ground.
 Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-6, "Wheel AlignmentInspection"
.
Swinging force “A” : Refer to
RSU-29, "Ball Joint"

Turning force “B” : Refer to RSU-29, "Ball Joint"

Vertical end play “C” : Refer to RSU-29, "Ball Joint"

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005867805
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 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 w hether 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 for Rear SuspensionINFOID:0000000003772362
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with thetires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• 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.

WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY
3. Install balance weight in the position shown.CAUTION:
• Do not install the inner bala nce weight before installing
the outer balance weight.
• Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
• When installing balance weight (1) to road wheel, set it into the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown
so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the bal-
ancer machine indication position (angle) (C).
CAUTION:
• Always use genuine NISSAN adhesive balance weights.
• Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace withnew ones.
• Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.
4. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz.), install two balance weight sheets in line with each other as
shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top another.
5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the bal- ancer machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
7. Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz.) each or below.
8. If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz.), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-6, "
General Maintenance".
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
• Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
