5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the
″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedur e without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000004305858
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield.
Cautions INFOID:0000000004305859
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening mu st be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and l ubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. A lways use new ones when installing. WEIA0178E

FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service INFOID:0000000004305863
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF LOWER BALL JOINT END PLAY 1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool bet ween transverse link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage the installation position by applying
excessive force.
STRUT INSPECTION Check for oil leakage, damage and replace as necessary.
Wheel Alignment Inspection INFOID:0000000004305864
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and r eplace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts before
making any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-6, " Inspection " .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-6, " On-Vehicle Inspection and Service " .
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-19, " Wheelarch Height (Unladen*) " .
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed. • This type of alignment is re commended 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 calib rated in order to give correct information.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific a lignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to FSU-17, " Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*) " .
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. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Check lining thickness.
Drum Inner Diameter Inspection
Check inner diameter of brake drum.
Measurement area: lining contact surface (center)
Wheel Cylinder Leakage Inspection
• Check wheel cylinder for brake fluid leakage.
• Check for wear, damage, and looseness. If any non-standard con-
dition is found, replace it.
Other Inspections
Check the following:
• Inside of the drum for excessive wear, damage, and cracks.
• Lining for excessive wear, damage, and peeling.
• Shoe sliding surface for excessive wear and damage.
• Return spring for sagging.
• Check back plate for damage, cracks, and deforma tion. Replace back plate as necessary.
Replace applicable part as necessary.
AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS
AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS : Axle and Suspension Parts INFOID:0000000004305217
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.
• Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
• Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.
• Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.
• Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.
• Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint dust cover for cracks or other damage. Standard thickness (A) : Refer to
BR-40, " Rear Drum Brake "

• 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.
• With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to full right stop and measure the turning angles.
• Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.
• Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
• Steering angles are not adjustabl e. Check steering gear assembly,
steering column assembly and front suspension components for
wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the
specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condi-
tion exists.
Removal and Installation INFOID:0000000004305932
REMOVAL NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, secure cable with a tape so that case and rotating part keep aligned. This will
omit neutral position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation.
1. Set front wheels to straight-ahead position.
2. Remove driver air bag module. Refer to SRS-34 .
3. Remove steering wheel lock nut after steering is locked.
4. Remove steering wheel.
INSTALLATION Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and l ubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.
