Manual DescriptionSERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS (SDS) 16, when installing rubber bushings, 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.
The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ from those of special service tools illustrated here, measuring sliding torque ball joint, nOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) TROUBLESHOOTING, use chart below to help you find the cause of the symptom.
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component component statues (wear, iNSPECTION OF TRANSVERSE LINK END PLAY, set front wheels in a straight-ahead position, measure axial end play of transverse link ball joint by prying between suspension arm front axle with.
A iron bar something similar, be careful not to damage ball joint boot, check strut for oil leakage, damage replace necessary, measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
Check tires for improper air pressure wear, check wheel bearing axial end play, check transverse link ball joint axial end play, check each mounting point of axle and suspension looseness deformation.
Check each link, rod, and member for cracks, deformation other damage, a four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed, this type of alignment is recommended any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle, the four-wheel thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and steering wheel.
The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle, the rack should be checked to ensure that it level, make sure the machine properly calibrated, your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order give correct information.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment their recommended Service/Calibration, use only the alignment specifications listed Service Manual, when displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use indicators”: (Green/red, plus, the alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be correct.
This may result an ERROR, some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional Rolling Compensation” method to compensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units), vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways, see Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information this.
INSPECTION OF CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES, camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted, before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge, same height so vehicle will remain horizontal.
Install the CCK gauge attachment [SST: KV991040S0 ( – )] with the following procedure wheel, then, place the dent of alignment gauge onto projection center, plate and tightly contact them measure, if camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle outside.
The standard, check front suspension parts wear, damage, and replace suspect parts necessary, q Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required, refer to "Components" , for the symbols figure.
Remove suspension assembly with engine assembly from vehicle, remove tires from vehicle with power tool, remove brake caliper with power tool, do not pull wheel sensor harness.
Refer to "Components" for tightening torque, refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts, perform final tightening of strut assembly lower side (rubber bushing) under unladen conditions with tires.
