PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS

PFP:00001

Cautions

NES0002H

●

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

–

Unladen conditions means that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.

●

After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.

●

Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, tighten as they are.

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY

PFP:55020

On-Vehicle Inspection

NES0002L

Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component status (wear,
damage) are normal.

INSPECTION SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY 

Measure axial end play by placing and moving up/down with an iron pry bar or something similar between sus-
pension arm and axle assembly.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.

SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION

Check shock absorber for oil leakage, damage and replace if necessary.

Wheel Alignment Inspection

NES000DQ

DESCRIPTION

●

Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine cool-
ant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

●

Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.

●

Check road wheels for runout.

●

Check wheel bearing axial end play.

●

Check ball joint axial end play of suspension arm.

●

Check shock absorber operation.

●

Check each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.

●

Check each link, arm and member for cracks, deformation, and other damage.

●

Check vehicle posture.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

●

A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.

–

This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.

–

The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.

–

The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.

–

The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.

●

Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.

–

Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.

–

Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration
Schedule.
