WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Inspection

INFOID:0000000012200392

DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• The adjustment mechanisms of camber and toe-in are not included.

• If camber and toe-in is outside the standard, check front suspension parts for wear and damage.

Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is detected.

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.

PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check the following:

• Tires for improper air pressure and wear. Refer to 

WT-47, "Tire Air Pressure"

.

• Road wheels for runout.

• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to 

RAX-6, "Inspection"

.

• Shock absorber operation.

• Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.

• Each of rear suspension beam and shock absorber for cracks, deformation, and other damage.

• Vehicle height (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.

• Check 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).

 Never 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.

• Most camera-type alignment machines are equipped with both “Rolling Compensation” method and optional

“Jacking Compensation” method to “compensate” the alignment targets or head units. “Rolling Compensa-

tion” is the preferred method.

- If using the “Rolling Compensation” method, after installing the alignment targets or head units, push or pull

on the rear wheel to move the vehicle. 

Do not push or pull on the vehicle body.

- If using the “Jacking Compensation” method, after installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the

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

NOTE:

Do not use the “Rolling Compensation” method if you are using sensor-type alignment equipment.

- Follow all instructions for the alignment machine you're using for more information.
