ABS NISSAN TERRANO 2004 Service User Guide

To avoid confusion while calculating bearing shims, it is absolutely
necessary to stay with the metric system. If you measure anything
in inches, the results MUST be converted to the metric system.

Front Axle and Front Suspension Parts
ICheck front axle and front suspension parts for looseness,
cracks, wear or other damage.
(1) Shake each front wheel.
(2) Make sure that cotter pin is inserted.
(3) Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
: Refer to ªFRONT SUSPENSIONº, FA-29.
(4) Check front axle and front suspension parts for wear, cracks or other damage.
I Check shock absorber for oil leakage or other damage.
I Check suspension ball joints for grease leakage and dust cov-
ers for cracks or other damage.
I Check ball joint for vertical end play.
Upper ball joint: 1.6 mm (0.063 in) or less
(1) Jack up front of vehicle and set the stands.
(2) Clamp dial indicator onto transverse link and place indicator tip on lower edge of brake caliper.
(3) Make sure front wheels are straight and brake pedal is depressed.
(4) Place a pry bar between transverse link and inner rim of road wheel.
(5) While pushing and releasing pry bar, observe maximum dial indicator value.
(6) If ball joint movement is beyond specifications, remove and recheck it.

Front Wheel Alignment
Before checking front wheel alignment, be sure to make a prelimi-
nary inspection.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation.
2. Check the wheel runout.Wheel runout:Refer to SDS, FA-39.
3. Check the front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check the front suspension for looseness.
5. Check the steering linkage for looseness.
6. Check that the front shock absorbers work properly by using the standard bounce test.
7. Measure vehicle height (Unladen): H = A þ B mm (in) Refer to SDS, FA-39.
(1) Exercise the front suspension by bouncing the front of the vehicle 4 or 5 times to ensure that vehicle is in a neutral height
attitude.
(2) Measure wheel alignment. Refer to SDS, FA-39.
(3) Measure vehicle posture ... Dimension ªHº. Refer to SDS, FA-39.
If ªHº dimension is not within the specified value, readjust
vehicle posture using anchor arm adjusting nut.
Refer to ªINSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENTº, ªTorsion Bar
Springº, FA-31. Adjust wheel alignment if necessary.
(4) If wheel alignment is not as specified, but dimension ªHº is correct, adjust wheel alignment.
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION
Before checking camber, caster or kingpin inclination, move
vehicle up and down on turning radius gauge to minimize
friction. Ensure that vehicle is in correct posture (unladen
vehicle).
IMeasure camber, caster and kingpin inclination of both
right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and
adjust in accordance with the following procedures.

3. Remove nuts fixing lower ball joint on lower link.
Support lower link with jack.
4. Remove upper ball joint fixing bolt.
5. Remove shock absorber lower bolt.
6. Remove drive shaft with knuckle.
Cover drive shaft boot with a suitable protector.
7. Separate drive shaft from knuckle by slightly tapping it.
