POWER STEERING FLUID
InspectionINFOID:0000000009461251
FLUID LEVEL
Check power steering fluid level at the scale on reservoir tank cap
indicator.
• Check power steering fluid level with engine stopped and the fluid temp between 0 – 30 ° C (32 – 86 ° F).
• Power steering fluid level should be between the hatching area of the indicator on the power steering reservoir tank cap.
CAUTION:
• Do not overfill.
• Do not reuse used power steering fluid.
• Recommended power steering fluid is Genuine NISSAN E-
PSF or equivalent. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA :
Fluids and Lubricants".
FLUID LEAKAGE
Check the power steering hydraulic system for leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing or det erioration. Repair or replace
as necessary.
1. Start engine and allow engine to idle.
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds to check fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. Damage to power steering oil pump may
occur.
4. If power steering fluid leakage at connections is noticed, loosen flare nut and retighten.
CAUTION:
Do not over tighten flare nut as damage to O-ring and connection can occur.
5. If power steering fluid leakage from the power steer ing oil pump is noticed, repair connection or replace
power steering oil pump. Refer to ST-15, "Inspection"
.
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of power st eering fluid. Power steering fluid indicates a leak
from the power steering gear, replace as necessary. Refer to ST-36, "Removal and Installation"
.

CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
• Check installation condition of power steering gear assembly, front suspension, front drive shaft and steering
column.
• Check if movement exists when steering wheel is mo ved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
• Verify that the power steering gear nuts are tightened to specification. Refer to ST-36, "Exploded View"
.
STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steer ing wheel to the left and right lightly. Measure steer-
ing wheel movement on the outer circumference of the steering wheel when it is turned to the point where
tires start moving.
NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
• Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
25, "Wheel Alignment (Unladen*1)".
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if st eering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remo ve steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositi oning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of power steering gear outer sockets, then adjust tie-rods by the same
amount in the opposite direction.
STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to operating temperature.
4. Verify that the tires are inflated to the specified pressure. Refer to WT-60, "Tire"
.
5. Check steering wheel turning force using Tool when steering wheel has been turned 360 ° from the neutral position.
6. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, inspect steering column. Refer to ST-18, "Inspection"
.
7. If steering column meets specification, inspect steering gear. Refer to ST-20, "Inspection"
.

• Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH
and RH road wheels.
• Measure the turning angles with the engine at idle, then turn the steering wheel from full left stop to full right stop and measure the
turning angle. Refer to ST-46, "Steering Angle"
.
• Measure the rack stroke specification with vehicle in neutral posi- tion. Refer to ST-20, "Inspection"
.

HOLE COVER SEAL, HOLE COVER AND LOWER SHAFT ASSEMBLY
Check each part of hole cover seal, hole cover and steering column and lower shaft assembly for damage or
other malfunctions. Replace if necessary.
STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
• Check each part of steering column assembly for dam age or other malfunctions. Replace entire steering col-
umn assembly if any parts are damaged.
• Measure the length (L) as shown if vehicle has been involved in a
minor collision. Replace steering column assembly if outside the
specifications.
• Measure steering column rotating torque using Tool. Replace steering column assembly if outside the stan- dard.
• Check tilt and telescopic mechanism operating range (L

shown. Steering column length (L) : Refer to
ST-46, "Steering
Column".

RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Make sure that belt tension is normal be fore starting the following procedure.
1. Connect the Tool between oil pump discharge connector and high-pressure hose. Bleed air from the hydraulic circuit while
opening valve fully. Refer to ST-30, "Air Bleeding Hydraulic Sys-
tem".
2. Start engine. Run engine until power steering fluid temperature reaches 50 ° - 80 °C (122 ° - 176 °F).
CAUTION:
• Leave the valve of the hydraulic pressure gauge fully open while starting and ru nning engine. If engine is
started with the valve closed, th e hydraulic pressure in oil
pump goes up to the relief pressure along with unusual
increase of fluid temperature.
• Be sure to keep hose clear of belts and other parts when engine is started.
3. Fully close the Tool valve with engine at idle and measure the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Do not keep valve closed for 10 seconds or longer.
4. Open the valve slowly after measuring. Replace oil pump if the relief oil pressure is outside the standard.
5. After inspection, disconnect the Tool from hydraul ic circuit, then add fluid and bleed air. Refer to ST-30,
"Air Bleeding Hydraulic System".

OUTER SOCKET AND INNER SOCKET
• Ball joint swinging torque
- Hook a spring balance to the ball stud and inner socket measuring point (*) and pull the spring balance. Make sure that the spring bal-
ance reads the specified value when ball stud and inner socket
start to move. Replace outer socket and inner socket if they are
outside the specification.

- Make sure that the reading is within the following specified range
using Tool. Replace outer socket if the reading is outside the spec-
ification.
• Ball joint axial end play
- Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg, 111 lb.) to ball stud. Measuring
the amount of stud movement using a dial gauge, make sure that
the value is within specificati on. Replace outer socket and inner
socket if the measured value is outside specification. Tool number : — (J-44372)
