Inspection

 
 DESCRIPTION

Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE：
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Jack, hand tools and mats are in designated positions.
 
 PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check the following:
  • Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
  • Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to Inspection.
  • Ball joint axial end play of suspension arm. Refer to Inspection (GT-R certified NISSAN dealer).
  • 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 Schedule.
 
 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 correct.
    • This may result in an ERROR.
