REAR PROPELLER SHAFT
REAR PROPELLER SHAFT : Inspection

INFOID:0000000011277795

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 electric controlled coupling of final drive; then change the phase between electric controlled cou-

pling 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-102, "Inspec-

tion"

.

.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse gasket.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL : Refilling

INFOID:0000000011277798

1. Remove filler plug (1). Fill with new gear oil until oil level (A)

reaches the specified level near filler plug 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-125,

"Exploded View"

3. Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on a balancer

machine.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use center hole cone-type clamping machines to

hold the wheel during tire removal/installation or balancing

or damage to the wheel paint, cladding or chrome may

result. Use only rim-type or universal lug-type clamping

machines to hold the wheel during servicing.

a. Set dial indicator as shown.
b. Check runout, if runout value exceeds the limit, replace wheel.

WHEELS : Adjustment

INFOID:0000000011277800

BALANCING WHEELS (ADHESIVE WEIGHT TYPE)

Preparation Before Adjustment

Remove inner and outer balance weights from the wheel. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhe-

sive tape from the wheel and tire.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to scratch the wheel and tire during removal.

• After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean all traces of releasing agent from the wheel

and tire.

Wheel Balance Adjustment

CAUTION:

• DO NOT use center hole cone-type clamping machines to hold the wheel during tire removal/installa-

tion or balancing or damage to the wheel paint, cladding or chrome may result. Use only rim-type or

universal lug-type clamping machines to hold the wheel during servicing.

• If a balancer machine has an adhesive weight mode setting, select the adhesive weight mode setting and

skip Step 2 below. If a balancer machine only has the clip-on (rim flange) weight mode setting, follow Step 2

to calculate the correct size adhesive weight.

1. Set wheel and tire on balancer machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the balancer machine.
2. For balancer machines that only have a clip-on (rim flange) weight mode setting, follow this step to calcu-

late the correct size adhesive weight to use. When inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the

balancer machine indicator, multiply outer imbalance value by 5/3 (1.67) to determine balance weight that

should be used. Select the outer balance weight with a value closest to the calculated value above and

install in to the designated outer position of or at the designated angle in relation to the wheel and tire.

a. Indicated imbalance value 

× 5/3 (1.67) = balance weight to be

installed

Calculation example:

23 g (0.81 oz) 

× 5/3 (1.67) = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) ⇒ 40 g (1.41 oz)

balance 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)

3. Install balance weight in the position shown.

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 wheel and tire.

• When installing balance weight (1) to wheel and tire, set it into

the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the wheel and tire as

shown so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the

balancer machine indication position (angle) (C).

CAUTION:

• Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesive balance weights.

• Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with

new ones.

• Do not install more than three sheets of balance

weights.

4. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install

two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.

CAUTION:

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

5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of wheel and tire in the bal-

ancer machine indication position (angle).

CAUTION:

Do not install more than two balance weights.

7. Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual

imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.

8. If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.

TIRE ROTATION

• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.

Refer to 

MA-7, "Introduction of Periodic Maintenance"

.

• Rotate the wheels and tires front to back in the pattern as shown.

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

torque.

WARNING:

• Do not include the spare tire (if equipped) when rotating

tires.

• After rotating tires, check and adjust the tire pressure.

CAUTION:

• When installing wheel nuts, 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 the wheel nuts to a torque exceeding specification to prevent strain on the

disc brake rotor.

• Use Genuine NISSAN wheel nuts.
