2.

Leave the vehicle for 3 minutes. Then check oil level again.

3.

Before installing filler plug, set a new gasket. Install filler plug on transfer and tighten to the specified
torque. Refer to 

DLN-57, "Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

Never reuse gasket.

REAR PROPELLER SHAFT

INFOID:0000000009722403

NOISE

• Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.
• If center bearing is noisy or damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

VIBRATION

If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout first.

1.

With a dial indicator, measure propeller shaft runout at runout
measuring points by rotating final drive companion flange with
hands.

• Propeller shaft runout measuring point (Point “ ”).

2.

If runout still exceeds specifications, separate propeller shaft at
final drive companion flange or transfer companion flange; then
change the phase between companion flange and propeller
shaft by the one bolt hole at a time and install propeller shaft.

3.

Check runout again. If runout still exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly.

4.

Check the vibration by driving vehicle.

• Remove filler plug (1) and check oil level from filler plug mounting

hole as shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

Never start engine while checking oil level.

• Set a new gasket on filler plug and install it on final drive assembly.

Refer to

CAUTION:

Never reuse gasket.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL : Draining

INFOID:0000000009722405

1.

Stop engine.

2.

Remove drain plug (1) and drain gear oil.

3.

Set a new gasket on drain plug and install it to final drive assem-
bly and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-107,

"Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

Never reuse gasket.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL : Refilling

INFOID:0000000009722406

1.

Remove filler plug (1). Fill with new gear oil until oil level reaches
the specified level near filler plug mounting hole.

2.

After refilling oil, check oil level. Set a new gasket to filler plug, then install it to final drive assembly. Refer
to 

DLN-107, "Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

Never reuse gasket.

Preparation Before Adjustment

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

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
• After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road

wheel.

CHASSIS MAINTENANCE

• 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 road wheels.

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

each instruction manual.

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:

• Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
• Before installing the balance weight, be sure 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) 

⇒

 37.5 g (1.32 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:
36.2 

⇒

 35 g (1.23 oz)

36.3 

⇒

 37.5 g (1.32 oz)

b.

Installed balance weight in the position.
• When installing balance weight (1) to road wheels, set it into

the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as
shown in the figure so that the balance weight center (B) is
aligned with the tire balance machine indication position
(angle) (C).

CAUTION:

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

new ones.

• Do not install three or more sheets of balance weight.

If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.

CAUTION:

Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.

3.

Start the tire balance machine again.

4.

Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
tire balance machine indication position (angle).

CAUTION:

Do not install three or more balance weight.

5.

Start the tire balance machine. Check that inner and outer resid-
ual unbalance values is within the allowable unbalance value.

CAUTION:

If either residual unbalance value exceeds limit, repeat installation procedures.

TIRE ROTATION

• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.

Refer to 

MA-5, "FOR NORTH AMERICA : Explanation of General

Maintenance"

 (For North America), 

MA-7, "FOR MEXICO : Gen-

eral Maintenance"

 (For Mexico).

• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified

torque. Refer to 

WT-46, "Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing

the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.

• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the

criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.

• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.

• Perform the ID registration, after tire rotation. Refer to 

WT-21, "Work Procedure"

.
