Precautions for Suspension

INFOID:0000000000957793

CAUTION:

• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must 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 lubricant 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. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are

pre-oiled, tighten as they are.

MOUNTING INSPECTION

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

BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY

1.

Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position.

CAUTION:

Never depress brake pedal.

2.

Place an iron bar or equivalent between transverse link or upper link and steering knuckle.

3.

Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. never damage the installation position by applying exces-
sive force.

SHOCK ABSORBER

Check for oil leakage, damage and replace if malfunction is detected.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Wheel Alignment Inspection

INFOID:0000000000957797

Description

CAUTION:

Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
• Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. 
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.

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 Sched-

ule.

 Alignment Process

IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.
• When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or

minus, Go/No Go). Do not use these indicators.

- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-

rect.

- This may result in an ERROR.
• Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-

pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do not use this “Rolling Compensation” method.

- Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the vehi-

cle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.

- See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.

Preliminary Check

Check the following:
• Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
• Road wheels for runout. Refer to 

BRC-100, "Removal and Installation"

.

• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to 

FAX-8, "Wheel Bearing"

.

• Transverse link or upper link ball joint axial end play. Refer to 

FSU-21, "Ball Joint"

.

• Shock absorber operation.
• Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
• Each of suspension member, shock absorber, upper link and transverse link for cracks, deformation and

other damage.

• Vehicle height (posture).
