INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shaft
• Replace shaft if there is bending, cracking, or other damage.
Joint Sub-Assembly
• Make sure there is no rough rotation or unusual axial looseness.
• Make sure there is no foreign material inside joint sub-assembly.
• Check joint sub-assembly for compression scars, cracks or fractures. CAUTION:
If there are any irregular conditions of joint sub-assembly components, replace the entire joint sub-
assembly.

CAUTION:
If there is grease on boot mounting surfaces (indicated by *
marks) of shaft and housing, boot may come off. Clean all
grease from surfaces.
9. Make sure boot installation length (L) is the length specified below. Insert a suitable tool into the large end of boot. Bleed air
from boot to prevent boot deformation.
CAUTION:
• Boot may break if boot installation length is less than standard value.
• Be careful that suitable tool does not contact inside surface of boot.
10. Secure large and small ends of boot with new boot bands as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse boot bands.
11. Install new dust shield to slide joint housing. CAUTION:

12. After installing housing and shaft, make sure boot posit ion is correct. If boot position is not correct, remove
old boot bands then reposition the boot and secure with new boot bands.
Wheel Side
1. Insert the amount of grease (Genuine NISSAN Grease or equiv-
alent) into joint sub-assembly serration hole until grease begins
to ooze from ball groove and serration hole. After inserting
grease, use a shop cloth to wipe off old grease that has oozed
out.
2. Cover serrated part of shaft with tape. Install new boot band and boot to shaft. Be careful not to damage boot.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse boot band and boot.
