InspectionINFOID:0000000006225584
NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL
1. Check that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the cor-
rect position.
2. Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "
Inspection".
3. Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and c onfirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
4. Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if steering wheel is not in the neutral position.
STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Tires need to be inflated the specified pressure. Refer to WT-69, "
Tire Air Pressure".
3. Start the engine.
4. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating temperature.
5. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has been turned 540 ° from neutral position.
NOTE:
Multiply the distance (L) from the hook of spring balance to the
center of steering wheel by the measurement value with a spring
balance.
6. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check
rack sliding force and relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump.
Regarding relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump, refer to ST-52, "
Inspection".
RACK SLIDING FORCE
1. Disconnect lower joint and steering knuckle from steering gear assembly. Refer to ST-41, "Exploded
View".
2. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steer ing fluid has reached normal operating temperature.
3. While pulling outer socket slowly in ±11.5 mm ( ±0.453 in) range
from neutral position, make sure rack sliding force is within
specification.
4. If rack sliding force is not within specification, overhaul steering gear assembly.
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
1. Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Refer to FSU-7, "Inspection".

 Hook a spring balance at the point shown in the figure and pull the spring balance. Make sure that the spring balance reads the spec-
ified value when ball stud and inner socket start to move. Replace
outer socket and inner socket if they are outside the standard.
BALL JOINT ROTATING TORQUE
 Make sure that the reading is within the following specified rangeusing preload gauge (A) [SST: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)]. Replace
outer socket if the reading is outside the specified value.
BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY
 Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) to ball stud. Using adial gauge, measure amount of stud movement, and then make
sure that the value is within the following specified range. Replace
outer socket (1) and inner socket (2) if the measured value is out-
side the standard.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 After installation, bleed air from the steering hydraulic system. Refer to ST-30, "Inspection".
 Check if steering wheel turns smoothly when it is turned several times fully to the end of the left and right.
 Check the steering wheel play, neutral position steeri ng wheel, steering wheel turning force, and front wheel
turning angle. Refer to ST-32, "
Inspection".
 Check the fluid level, fluid leakage, and air bleeding hydraulic system. Refer to ST-30, "
Inspection".

INSPECTION
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle
so that the A/T fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to
176 °F). Inspect the amount of AT F. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Start the engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D” position.
5. Gradually press down the accelerator pedal while holding down the foot brake.
6. Quickly read off the stall speed, and quickly release the accelerator pedal. CAUTION:
Never hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds during this test.
7. Shift the selector lever to “N” position.
8. Cool down the ATF. CAUTION:
Run the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 with selector lever in “R” position.

PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Service Notice or Precautions for TPMSINFOID:0000000006225485
 Low tire pressure warning lamp blinks for 1min, then turns ON when occurring any malfunction except low tire pressure. Erase the self-diagnosis memories for low tire pressure warning control unit, or register the ID
to turn low tire pressure warning lamp OFF. For ID registration, refer to WT-29, "
Work Procedure".
 ID registration is required when replacing or rotating wheel s, replacing transmitter or low tire pressure warn-
ing control unit. Refer to WT-29, "
Work Procedure".
 Replace grommet seal, valve core and cap of transmitter in TPMS, when replacing each tire by reaching the
wear limit. Refer to WT-66, "
Exploded View".
 For tire inflation indicator function, refer to the following.
- When inflating the tires, park the vehicle in the safe area and ensure the safety of the working area.
- Read and understand the tire inflation indicator function prior to use.
- Inflate the tires one at a time.
- If there is no response for approximately 15 seconds or mo re after inflating the tires, cancel the use of the
tire inflation indicator function or move the vehicle approximately 1 m (3.2 ft) backward or forward to try
again. The air filler pressure may be weak or out of service area.
- Despite the high-precision TPMS pressure sensor, an i ndicated value may differ from that of the pressure
gauge.
- Air pressure is measured rather high due to the rise in tire air temperature after driving.
- If TPMS is malfunctioning, the tire inflation indicator is unusable.
Service Notice or Precautions for Road WheelINFOID:0000000006225486
 Genuine NISSAN aluminum wheel is designed for each type of vehicle. Use it on the specified vehicle only.
 Use Genuine NISSAN parts for the wheel nuts.
 Always use them after adjusting the wheel balance. For the balance weights, use Genuine NISSAN alumi-
num wheel weights.
 Use caution when handling the aluminum wheels, because they can be easily scratched. When removing
dirt, do not use any abrasives, a wire brush, or other it ems that may scratch the coating. Use a neutral deter-
gent if a detergent is needed.
 After driving on roads scattered with anti-ici ng salts, wash off the wheels completely.
 When installing road wheels onto the vehicle, always wipe of f any dirt or foreign substances to prevent them
from being trapped between the contact surfaces of wheel.
 Never apply oil to nut and bolt threads.
