INFOID:0000000010828070

LOOSENESS OF CONNECTED PART

Check each fixing bolt and nut for looseness using torque wrench. For each tightening torque, refer to 

DLN-

214, "Exploded View"

.

BACKLASH OF JOINT PART

Move the joint of propeller shaft up and down and from side to side
(axial direction of shaft and right angle to shaft) to check that the joint
has no backlash. If the joint has a malfunction, remove propeller
shaft and perform inspection.

BACKLASH OF CENTER BEARING

Move the shaft near center bearing up and down and from side to
side (axial direction of shaft and right angle to shaft) to check that the
bearing has no backlash. If the bearing has a malfunction, remove
propeller shaft and perform inspection.

APPEARANCE AND NOISE

• Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If malfunction is detected, replace propeller shaft

assembly.

• If center bearing is noisy or damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

VIBRATION

If vibration is present at high speed, adjust the propeller shaft phase first.

1.

Check the propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

2.

Perform a cruise test drive to check the propeller shaft for runout. If vibration occurs, separate propeller
shaft at final drive companion flange; then change the phase between electric controlled coupling stud bolt
and propeller shaft by the one bolt hole at a time and install propeller shaft.

3.

If vibration is still detected, measure propeller shaft runout after removing it. Refer to 

DLN-217, "Inspec-

tion"

WHEELS : Wheel Balance Adjustment (Aluminum Wheel)

INFOID:0000000010828074

PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTMENT

Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

• Never scratch the road wheel during removal.
• After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road

wheel.

ADJUSTMENT

• The details of the adjustment procedure are different for each model of wheel balancer. Therefore, refer to

each instruction manual. 

• If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,

select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for aluminum wheels.

1.

Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.

2.

When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.

CAUTION:

• Never install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
• Before installing the balance weight, always to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.

a.

Indicated unbalance value 

×

 5/3 = balance weight to be installed

Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) 

×

 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) 

⇒

 40 g (1.41 oz) bal-

ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
NOTE:
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 

⇒

 35 g (1.23 oz)

37.5 

⇒

 40 g (1.41 oz)

b.

Installed balance weight in the position.
• When installing balance weight 

 to road wheels, set it into

the grooved area 

 on the inner wall of the road wheel as

shown in the figure so that the balance weight center 

 is

aligned with the tire balance machine indication position
(angle) .

CAUTION:

• Always use genuine NISSAN balance weights.
• Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with

new ones.

• Never install three or more sheets of balance weight.
