INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque, refer to FSU-7, "Components" .
NOTE:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Perform final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing
coil spring and strut. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-5, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking the wheel alignment for models with VDC.
Refer to BRC-40, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to BRC-33, "WHEEL SENSORS" .

Be sure that the identification letters on mounting insulator face
in the direction shown in the figure, and then install strut assem-
bly to the vehicle.
Disassembly and AssemblyBES0003P
DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not damage strut piston rod when removing components from strut.
1. Install strut attachment [SST] to strut and secure it in a vise.
CAUTION:
Wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect it from damage
when installing strut attachment [SST] to strut.
2. Compress coil spring between upper rubber seat and lower rub-
ber seat (strut) using spring compressor (commercial service
tool) until coil spring is free.
CAUTION:
Start compressing coil spring after making sure that the
compressor is completely attached to coil spring.
3. Make sure that coil spring with the compressor is free between
spring upper rubber seat and lower spring seat (strut), and then
remove piston rod lock nut while securing the end of piston rod
so as not to rotate piston rod.
4. Remove mounting insulator bracket, mounting bearing, spring
upper seat, spring upper rubber seat, bound bumper from strut.
5. Remove coil spring with the compressor, and then gradually release the compressor.
CAUTION:
Loosen the compressor while checking installation position so that compressor is installed to the
correct position.
6. Remove lower spring seat from strut.
7. Remove strut attachment [SST] from strut.

Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace
NOTE:

(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with
CONSULT-II every 90,000 km (54,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to CVT-46, "
Check CVT Fluid Dete-
rioration Date" .) And if CONSULT-II is not available, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 90,000 km (54,000 miles).
Using transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the
warranty.

(2) Inspect once per year.
