MOUNTING INSPECTION

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

BALL JOINT AXIAL END PIAY

Measure axial end play by placing and moving up/down with an iron bar or equivalent between suspension
arm and axle assembly.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.

SHOCK ABSORBER

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

Wheel Alignment Inspection

INFOID:0000000000957825

Description

• 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-101, "REAR SENSOR ROTOR : Removal and Installation"

.

• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to 

RAX-15, "Wheel Bearing"

.

• Ball joint axial end play of suspension arm. Refer to 

RSU-11, "Removal and Installation"

.

• Shock absorber operation.
• Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
• Each of front lower link, rear lower link, radius rod, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock

absorber for cracks, deformation, and other damage.

• Vehicle height (posture).

ADJUSTMENT

Camber

If outside the standard value, adjust with adjusting bolt (1) in front
lower link (2).

CAUTION:

After adjusting camber, be sure to check toe-in.

Standard

Camber: Refer to 

RSU-19, "Wheel Alignment"
