sary.
STABILIZER BAR
• Check the stabilizer bar and clamps for any deformation, cracks, or damage and replace if necessary.
• Check the rubber bushings for deterioration, or cracks and replace if necessary.
Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009464456
Before checking the rear wheel ali gnment, make a preliminary inspection.
• Measure the wheel alignment under unladen conditions. NOTE:
Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and l ubricants are full. That the spare tire, jack, hand
tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
• Check the tires for wear and for improper inflation.
• Check the wheels for deformation, cracks, and ot her damage. Remove the wheel and check the wheel
runout. Refer to WT-53, "Inspection"
.
• Check the rear wheel bearings for looseness.
• Check the rear suspension for looseness.
• Check that the rear shock absorbers work properly.

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
• Check the wheelarch height in the unladen condition. Refer to RSU-17, "Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)".
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN 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 ca pable of accepting any NISSAN 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 al ignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-17,
"Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)".
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignm ent 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.
2. Most camera-type alignment machines are equipped with both "Rolling Compensation" method and optional "Jacking Compensation" method to "com pensate" the alignment targets or head units.
"Rolling Compensation" is the preferred method.
• If using the "Rolling Compensation" method, after installing the alignment targets or head units, push or pull on the rear wheel to move the vehicle. Do not push or pull the vehicle body.
• If using the "Jacking Compensation" method, after in stalling the alignment targets or head units, raise
the vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
NOTE:
Do not use the "Rolling Compensation" method if you are using sensor-type alignment equipment.
• Follow all instructions for the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER and TOE
• Camber and toe are both set by adjustment of the fr ont lower link and rear lower link adjusting bolts.
1. Loosen the nuts at the adjustment points on the front lower link and rear lower link.
2. Adjust the camber and toe by turning bolt (1) on front lower link (2).
3. Adjust the camber and toe by turning bolt (1) on rear lower link (2).

AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies in cluding retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN/INFINITI recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor and th e belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Fail-
ure to do so could result in serious personal inju ry in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be replaced if either da mage 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, etc.).
• The seat belt attaching point is damaged in an accident . Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage or
distortion and repair if necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
• Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
• The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if t he seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp for proper operation per the following:
a. Turn ignition switch ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate.
b. Fasten driver seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should turn OFF.
2. If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, perform self-diagnosis with CONSULT and air bag warning lamp. Refer to SRC-17, "Trouble Diagnosis without CONSULT"
.
3. Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are tightened firmly.
4. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Check that guide
swivels freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Check that height adjuster operates
properly and holds securely.
5. Check retractor operation:
a. Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears or other damage.
b. Allow the seat belt to retract. Check that webbing retu rns smoothly and completely into the retractor. If the
seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of t he loops with a clean paper cloth. Dirt build-up in the
loops of the upper anchors can cause t he seat belts to retract slowly.
c. Fasten the seat belt. Check that seat belt returns sm oothly and completely to the retractor. If the webbing
does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accu mulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT TAPE
SET” and perform the following steps.
d. Inspect the front seat belt D-ring anchor 1. Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more.
2. Hold the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening with a clip or other device.
3. Pass a thin wire through the D-ring anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull it tightly while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to remove dirt
stuck there.
4. Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean
cloth.
5. Apply tape at the point where the webbing contacts the D-ring anchor webbing opening. NOTE:
Apply the tape so that there is no slack or wrinkling.
6. Remove the clip holding the seat belt and check that the webbing returns smoothly.
6. Repeat steps above if necessary to check the other seat belts.
