positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
Check the following:
^
Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
^
Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-73, "Inspection". See: Wheels and Tires/Wheels/Testing and Inspection
^
Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-4, "Inspection" (2WD), RAX-11, "Inspection" (AWD). See: Suspension/Wheel Hub/Testing and
Inspection/Rear Axle
^

^
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.

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.
^
Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional "Rolling Compensation" method to "compensate" the sensors (alignment
targets or head units). Do not use this "Rolling Compensation" method.
-
Use the "Jacking Compensation Method". After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2
turn both ways.
