350Z V6-3.5L (VQ35) (2003)
1.
Check the vehicle's front end alignment and adjust Toe-in, if needed.
For details on Front End Alignment, refer to the FSU section/Wheel Alignment Inspection and Toe-in Inspection and/Service Data/Wheel
Alignment (Unladen) in the Electronic Service Manual (ESM).
The preferred setting is 2 mm (0.08 in.) [0.20] with no "variation" (zero [0] plus or minus). Once the final adjustment is done, it is very important
to not have any "toe-out".
IMPORTANT:
^
Some newer Hunter or other brand alignment machines are equipped with an optional "Rolling Compensation" method. Do NOT use this method
to compensate the sensors when aligning the 350Z.
^
Many alignment machines use a green/red or plus/minus or Go/No Go "indicator" to show an "average" setting range.
^
Using these indicators may show a "tolerance" range that is too wide, resulting in a wrong toe setting.
^
You must refer to the number readout for the required accuracy.
2.
Once Toe-in has been checked and adjusted (if necessary), go to Rotate Front Tires from Side to Side - Dismounting Tires from Wheels.
Rotate Front Tires from Side to Side - Dismounting Tires from Wheels:

Label the left-front wheel as the LEFT (as viewed from the driver's seat).
2.

3.
Inspect the valve stems of the front tires:
A.
