With a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger certain, to avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury death, the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by, improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead personal.

Injury caused by unintentional activation of the system, pRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS, when working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near sensor(s) with, when using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect.

Battery and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service, when installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires, - Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full, after servicing suspension parts, be sure check wheel alignment.

Self-lock nuts are not reusable, nOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) TROUBLESHOOTING, shock absorber deformation, damage deflection, use the chart below to help you find the cause of the symptom.

Check the suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear or damage, retighten all nuts and bolts specified torque, check the shock absorber for oil leakage other damage, check for smooth operation through a full stroke for both compression extension.

Check for oil leakage on the welded gland packing portions, check the shock absorber piston rod for cracks, deformation, or other damage replace necessary, check the suspension arm for damage, cracks, deformation replace necessary, check the rubber bushings for damage, cracks and deformation.

Check the wheels for deformation, cracks, and other damage, check the rear wheel bearings looseness, check the rear suspension looseness, check that the rear shock absorbers work properly.

Check the wheelarch height in the unladen condition, a Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed, this type of alignment is recommended any NISSAN vehicle, the four-wheel thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned steering wheel.

The alignment machine itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle, the alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it level, make sure the alignment machine properly calibrated, your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order give correct information.
