WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009752350

DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• The adjustment mechanisms of camber, caster, and kingpin inclination angles are not included.
• If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle is outside the standard, check front suspension parts

for wear and damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is detected.

• Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.
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-54, "Tire Air Pressure"

• Road wheels for runout.
• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to

FAX-7, "Inspection"

• Transverse link ball joint axial end play. Refer to

FSU-6, "Inspection"

• Strut operation.
• Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
• Each of suspension member, strut assembly and transverse link 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.

Adjustment

INFOID:0000000009752351

TOE-IN

• Loosen the steering outer socket, and then adjust the length using steering inner socket.

DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

Never damage strut assembly piston rod when removing components from strut assembly.
1.

Install strut attachment (A) [SST: ST35652000 (

—

)] to strut

assembly and secure it in a vise.

CAUTION:

When installing the strut attachment to strut assembly,
wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect from damage.

Using a spring compressor (A) (commercial service tool), com-
press coil spring between spring upper seat and lower seat
(strut assembly) until coil spring with a spring compressor is
free.

CAUTION:

Be sure a spring compressor is securely attached to coil
spring. Compress coil spring.

Check coil spring with a spring compressor between spring
upper seat and lower seat (strut assembly) is free. And then
remove piston rod lock nut while securing the piston rod tip so
that piston rod does not turn.

Remove mounting insulator, mounting bearing, and bound
bumper from strut.

After removing coil spring with a spring compressor (commercial service tool), then gradually release a
spring compressor.

CAUTION:

Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position does not move.

Remove lower rubber seat.

Remove strut attachment [SST: ST35652000 (

—

)] from strut assembly.

Perform inspection after disassembly. Refer to

FSU-12, "Inspection"
