WHEEL ALIGNMENT
InspectionINFOID:0000000012430301
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If the wheel alignment is out of s pecification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear 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, engine coolant, and lubricants are full; the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
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-54, "
Wheel".
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-27, "
Wheel Bearing".
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mount point of the suspension co mponents for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-21, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*)".
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is recomm ended 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 a lignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to FSU-20, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*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.
• Most camera-type alignment machines are equipped with "Rolling Compensation" method and optional
"Jacking Compensation" method to "compensate" the alignment targets or head units.
"Rolling Compensation" is the preferred method.
- If using the "Rolling Compensation" method, after inst alling the alignment targets or head units, push or pull
on the rear wheel to move the vehicle. Do not push or pull on the vehicle body.
- If using the "Jacking Compensation" method, after inst alling the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn in either direction.
NOTE:
Do not use the "Rolling Compensation" method if you are using sensor-type alignment equipment.
• Follow all instructions for the alignment machine you're using for more information.
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES INSPECTION
• Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
• Before inspection, set the front wheels onto a turning radius gauge. Set the rear wheels onto a pad that has
the same height so the vehicle will remain horizontal.
TOTAL TOE-IN INSPECTION
Measure the total toe-in using the following procedure.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
SeatsCheck seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every po-
sition. Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the
locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the latches
lock securely for folding-down rear seatbacks. —
Seat belts Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. MA-43
Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. —
Brakes Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
booster Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep
floor mats away from the pedal. BR-9
Clutch pedal
Make sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has the proper free play. CL-5
Parking brakeCheck that the lever or pedal has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle
is held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied. PB-4

—
Engine coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. CO-8
Radiator and hosesCheck the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure the radiator hoses have no cracks, deforma-
tion, deterioration or loose connections. CO-12
Brake and clutch fluid
levelsMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoirs. BR-12
CL-7
Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level. PG-61
Engine drive belts
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. MA-14
Engine oil levelCheck the level on the oil level gauge after parking the vehicle on a level spot and
turning off the engine. MA-20
Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex-
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the
trouble and correct it. MA-26
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the
exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately. —

• When checking immediately after in
stallation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after
turning crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflec-
tion between pulleys.
• When the tension adjustment is performed, the lo ck nut should be in the condition at Step 2. If
the tension adjustment is perfo rmed when the lock nut is loosened more than the temporary
tightening, the idler pulley tilts and the co rrect tension adjustment cannot be performed.
4. Tighten the lock nut to final tightening specification.
ENGINE COOLANT
ENGINE COOLANT : InspectionINFOID:0000000012432252
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for the following:
• Improper attachment
• Leaks
•Cracks
• Damage
• Loose connections
• Chafing
• Deterioration
CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL
• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the MAX (A) to MIN (B) range when the engine is cool.
• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary. CAUTION:
Refill the engine cooling system with the specified coolant or
equivalent. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and
turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down
and turning it all the way.
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when the engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using suit-
able tools (A) and (B). Lock nut (Final tightening) :

4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the
radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the engine coolant mixture container that is placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the
closed position.
•Use recommended engine coolant or equivalent.
Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
Do not use any cooling system additives such as radiator
sealer. Additives may clog the cooling system and cause
damage to the engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Engine coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill
hose is full of engine coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude
above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to br ing the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the engine coolant container (with the refill hose in serted) at the same level as the top of the radia-
tor. Then open the ball valve on the refill hose so the engine coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling sys-
tem. The cooling system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the engine coolant co ntainer to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn
into the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
12. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specif ied level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to
warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary.
13. Install the front under cover. Refer to EXT-39, "
