PRECAUTION

PRECAUTIONS

Precautions for Suspension

INFOID:0000000007580339

• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires

on ground. Spilled oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.

- 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.
• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,

tighten as they are.

• The tightening surface must be kept free from oil/grease.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Inspection

INFOID:0000000007580343

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. Refer to

WT-50, "Tire Air Pressure"

• Road wheels for runout.
• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to

RAX-12, "Inspection"

• Shock absorber operation.
• Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
• Each of lower link, upper link, 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). 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.

Adjustment

INFOID:0000000007580344

CAMBER, TOE-IN

CAUTION:

• Adjust camber first, then adjust toe-in last. never change the order.
• If camber angle needs to be adjusted, toe-in adjustment is necessary.
• Minimize difference of left and right toe-in within tolerance.

Loosen mounting nuts of upper link and lower link on the suspension member side.

Revision: 2011 October

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

[AWD]

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Adjust camber and toe-in by turning upper link adjusting bolt (1)
and lower link adjusting bolt (2) alternately.

NOTE:

• Refer to the table below for easier adjustment.

- Obtain the amount of camber and toe-in by calculating the difference between the measurement result

and the standard value.

- Obtain the needed adjustment amount from the graph and move adjusting bolts, respectively.

After adjustment, tighten mounting nuts of upper link and lower link on the suspension member side.

CAUTION:

When tightening nut to the specified torque, the bolt must be fixed with a wrench.

Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to

BRC-56, "Work Procedure"
