On-Vehicle Inspection BES00040
Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each components and component status
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT END PLAY
Measure axial end play by placing an iron pry bar or a similar item between suspension arm and axle housing
prying up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage installation position by applying excessive
force.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check for oil leakage, damage, and breakage of installation positions.
Wheel Alignment InspectionBES00041
DESCRIPTION
Measure the wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. A spare tire, a jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
1. Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-3, "
ROAD WHEEL" .
3. Check wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-3, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
4. Check suspension arm ball joint axial end play. Refer to RSU-11, "
Ball Joint Inspection" .
5. Check shock absorber operation.
6. Check each mounting point of axle housing and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Check each link, arm, and member for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
8. Check vehicle height (posture).
CAMBER INSPECTION

Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable
alignment gauge.

Adjust in accordance with the following procedures.

If camber is not within the specification, adjust by turning the
adjusting bolt of front lower link.
NOTE:
After adjusting camber, be sure to check toe-in.Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Camber : Refer to RSU-18, "
SERVICE DATA AND
SPECIFICATIONS (SDS)" .

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY

TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If 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 vehicle before push-
ing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle
height posture.
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance “A” (rear side).
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2
turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
start this procedure again from the beginning. Do not push the
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance “B” (front side).
7. If toe-in is not within the specification, adjust by turning the
adjusting bolt of rear lower link.
CAUTION:
When adjusting toe-in, set the both sides to the same val-
ues.

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
BHS0003P
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 severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precaution for Seat Belt ServiceBHS0003Q
CAUTION:

Before removing the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch off, discon-
nect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.

Do not use electrical test equipment for front seat belt pre-tensioner connector.

After replacing or reinstalling front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting front seat
belt pre-tensioner connector, check the system function. Refer to SRS-16, "
SRS Operation Check"
.

Activate front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly before disposing. Refer to SRS-48, "DISPOSAL OF
AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" .

Do not use disassembled buckle or seat belt assembly.

Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.

Do not oil tongue and buckle.

If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat belt
assembly.

If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.

When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the col-
lision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioners
should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air bags
are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:

The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).

The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide).

The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.

Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.

The front seat belt pre-tensioners should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the colli-
sion in which the air bags are deployed.
