PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Suspension INFOID:0000000003130373
B
CAUTION:
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions
with tires on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil. C
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools
and mats are in designated positions.
• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment. D
• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are
pre-oiled, tighten as they are.

MOUNTING INSPECTION
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component conditions C
(wear, damage) are normal.
BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY
1. Place an iron bar or equivalent between transverse link or upper link and steering knuckle. D
2. Measure axial end play by playing it up and down.

< ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE >
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Inspection INFOID:0000000003130377

DESCRIPTION
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.
• Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-97, "Inspection".
• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-5, "Inspection".
• Ball joint axial end play of suspension arm. Refer to RSU-19, "Ball Joint".
• Shock absorber operation.
• Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
• Each of front lower link, rear lower link, radius rod, rear suspension member, suspension arm 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.
• Make sure 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). Do not 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.
• Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Never use this “Rolling Compensation” method.
- Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the vehi-
cle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
- See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.
