WHEEL ALIGNMENT
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
InspectionINFOID:0000000012431922
DESCRIPTION
Measure the wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricants are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-44, "
Inspection".
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-10, "
Wheel Bearing".
4. Shock absorber operation.
5. Each mounting part of suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Rear suspension beam for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Vehicle height (posture).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed. • This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI 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 capabl e of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI 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.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific al ignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-15, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*1)".
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
• The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators may not be correct.
• This may result in an ERROR.
2. Most camera-type alignment machines are equipped with both "Rolling Compensation" method and optional "Jacking Compensation" method to "com pensate" the alignment targets or head units.
"Rolling Compensation" is the preferred method.
• If using the "Rolling Compensation" method, after installing the alignment targets or head units, push or pull on the rear wheel to move the vehicle. Do not push or pull the vehicle body.
• If using the "Jacking Compensation" method, after in stalling the alignment targets or head units, raise
the vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
NOTE:
Do not use the "rolling compensation" if you are using sensor-type alignment equipment.
• Follow all instructions for the alignment machine you're using for more information.
CAMBER INSPECTION
• Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
• If it is out of the specificati on value, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.
Camber : Refer to RSU-15, "
Wheel Alignment
(Unladen*1)".

TOTAL TOE-IN INSPECTION
Measure the total toe-in using following procedure. If it is out of the specification, inspect and replace any
damaged or worn rear suspension parts.
WARNING:
• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
• Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the rear of the vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push the rear wheel to move the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on the base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure the distance (A) from the rear side.
5. Push the rear wheel to move the vehicle slowly ahead and to rotate the wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
CAUTION:
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
try the above procedure again from the beginning. Do not
push the vehicle backward.
6. Measure the distance (B) from the front side.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000012431939
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
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 three mi nutes before performing any service.
Service Notice and Precautions for EPS SystemINFOID:0000000012431940
• Check the following item when performing the trouble diagnosis:
- Check for possible causes of the malfunction by inte rviewing the customer as to what conditions were
present when the symptom occurred.
- Check if the steering wheel and the EPS control unit are genuine parts.
- Check if the air pressure and size of each tire is correct.
- Check if the installation of the links and suspension components are correct.
- Check if the tires are worn evenly, indicating the wheel alignment is correct.
- Check if the installation of the steering column and t he steering gear are correct. Check for loose bolts, dam-
aged links, cracked boots and leaking grease, etc.
- Check for damage or modification to suspension or body resulting in increased weight or altered ground clearance.
- Check if the battery voltage is proper.
- Check the EPS control unit harness to be sure the harness connectors are fully seated.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the EPS control uni t harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and
disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal. Battery voltage is applied to the EPS control unit
even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.
