Service Information
The Maxima sedan may exhibit two different types of vibration.
Type I
At cruising speeds of 30-50 mph, a small vibration may be felt in the floor and seats.
Type II
When the Maxima accelerates from a stop, a vibration may be felt in the seat and steering wheel at 8-12 mph. The vibration increases as the load in the
vehicle increases.
Corrective Action
Type I
Check the lateral alignment of the front propeller shaft and the rear of the transmission. Misalignments of only 1/4" could result in a body vibration.
To correct the lateral offset, loosen the rear transmission mount and push the transmission in line with the rear driveshaft. The lateral offset should now
be zero. Tighten the transmission bolt to specified torque. (See the Service Manual for torque specifications.)
