Inspection

INFOID:0000000012199113

COMPONENT PART

Check the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component conditions (wear,

damage) are normal.

Ball Joint Axial End Play

1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position.
2. Move axle side of transverse link in the axial direction by hand.

Check there is no end play.

CAUTION:

• Never depress brake pedal when measuring.

• Never perform with tires on level ground.

• Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Never damage

the installation position by applying excessive force.

STRUT ASSEMBLY

Check for oil leakage, damage, and replace if necessary.

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-47, "Tire Air Pressure"

• Road wheels for runout.

• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to

FAX-9, "Inspection"

(NISMO RS),

FAX-64, "Inspection"

(EXCEPT

NISMO RS).

• 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.

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

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

CAUTION:

• Always evenly adjust both toe-in alternately and adjust the difference between the left and right to

the standard.

• Always fix the steering inner socket when tightening the steering outer socket.

• After toe-in adjustment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to

BRC-63, "Work Procedure"

REMOVAL

1. Remove tires with power tool. Refer to

WT-39, "Removal and Installation"

2. Remove lock plate from strut assembly. Refer to

BR-25, "FRONT : Removal and Installation"

3. Remove wheel sensor. Refer to

BRC-147, "FRONT WHEEL SENSOR : Removal and Installation"

4. Remove stabilizer connecting rod from strut assembly. Refer to

FSU-15, "Removal and Installation"

5. Remove strut mounting bolts and nuts from steering knuckle.
6. Remove cowl top cover. Refer to

EXT-30, "Removal and Installation"

7. Remove mounting bolt of mounting insulator, and then remove strut assembly.

INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

• Install strut assembly with the identification mark (A) of mounting

insulator faced forward of the vehicle and the arrow (B) faced out-

side.

NOTE:

The identification mark "0" shows the right mounting insulator and

"1" shows left.

• Never reuse strut mounting nut.

• Perform final tightening of bolts and nuts at the vehicle installation

position (rubber bushing), under unladen conditions with tires on

level ground.

• Perform inspection after installation. Refer to

FSU-12, "Inspection"
