Sentra Sedan L4-1597cc 1.6L SOHC (E16S) (1986)
Step 4.
All models: Adjust rear suspension to maximum toe-out position as
follows:
a.
Drive the vehicle onto a ramp-type hoist that supports the vehicle by its tires.
b.
Loosen the rear lower control arm bolts.
c.
Pull both rear control arms inward toward the center of the vehicle by fastening a power puller (also known as a come-along) around the lower
shock absorber mounts.
d.
While maintaining tension of less than 100 lbs. on the lower control arms, torque the rear lower control arm bolts to 43-51 ft/lbs.
e.
Remove the power puller.
Perform Step 5 on Sentra Sedans, Coupes and Pulsar vehicles only if they exhibit Type B rear tire wear:
Step 5. Road test the vehicle and check for seat/floor pan vibration and rear spindle fore and aft movement at highway speeds (50-65 mph). This is best
detected by having an observer follow the incident vehicle in a separate vehicle and watch the rear wheels while traveling at highway speeds. If the
incident vehicle exhibits rear spindle fore and after vibration after adjusting rear toe, install the countermeasure rear control arms with stiffer bushings
and repeat Step 4. The owner should be made aware that this change will slightly decrease ride comfort.
