INSTALLATION

Install in the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque refer to RAX-6, "COMPONENT" .

Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each link mounting part (rubber bushing) under unladen con-
ditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-6, "
Wheel Alignment" .

Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to BRC-46, "WHEEL SENSORS" .
Disassembly and AssemblyEDS0034I
DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble if wheel bearing has no trouble.
1. Remove caulked of lock nut, and then remove lock nut from axle housing.
2. Remove sensor rotor from axle housing.
3. Set axle housing on vise at point where strut is attached. Using
a sliding hammer [SST] and attachment [SST] to remove wheel
hub from axle housing.
CAUTION:
When placing on vise, be careful not to damage strut
mounting surface of axle housing. Use an aluminum plate
or suitable tool.
4. Using a drift [SST] and a puller (suitable tool), press wheel bear-
ing outer side inner race from wheel hub.
5. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool to remove snap
ring from axle housing.
6. Using a drift [SST] and a press wheel bearing from axle housing.

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionEES0006Z

When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on flat, level ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.

“Unladen condition” means that fuel, coolant and lubricant are full and ready for drive. However, spare tire,
jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.

After installing the removed suspension parts, always check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.

Replace the caulking nut with a new one. Install a new nut without wiping the oil off before tightening.

TRANSVERSE LINK

TRANSVERSE LINK PFP:54500
Removal and InstallationEES00076
REMOVAL
1. Remove steering knuckle from transverse link. Refer to FAX-7, "REMOVAL" .
2. Remove mounting nuts and washers on lower portion of stabilizer connecting rod.
3. Slightly loosen transverse link mounting bolts.
4. Remove transverse link mounting bolts and nuts, and remove transverse link from suspension member.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks, and other damage. Replace the entire transverse
link assembly if cracks, deformation or any other damage is found.
Ball Joint Inspection
CAUTION:
Before measurement, move the ball joint at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
Swing Torque Inspection

Hook spring scale at cotter pin mounting hole. Confirm spring
scale measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.

If the value is outside the standard, replace transverse link.
Rotating Torque Inspection

Attach mounting nut to ball stud. Check that rotating torque is
within specifications with a preload gauge (SST).

If the value is outside the standard, replace transverse link.
Axial Endplay Inspection

Move tip of ball joint in axial direction to check for looseness.

If any looseness is noted, replace transverse link.
INSTALLATION

Refer to FSU-5, "Components" for tightening torque. Tighten in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten transverse link mounting bolts with vehicle unladen and all four tyre on flat, level ground.

After installation, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "Wheel Alignment" . Swing force:
0.50 - 3.4 N·m (0.06 - 0.34 kg-m, 5 - 30 in-lb)
Measurement on spring balance:
7.94 - 53.97 N (0.81 - 5.50 kg, 1.79 - 12.2 lb)

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EHS001B0
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceEHS000BH

Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.

Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 min-
utes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.

Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before instal-
lation and replace as required.

The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.

Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and place front side air bag module standing with stud bolt side setting bottom.

Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.

After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisEHS001NG
When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:

GI-14, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams" in GI section

PG-2, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING" in PG section
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:

GI-10, "HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSES" in GI section

GI-23, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident" in GI section
Check for any service bulletins before servicing the vehicle.
