Nissan Rogue Service Manual: Periodic maintenance
FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
Inspection
COMPONENT
Check the conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component. Verify the
component conditions (wear, damage)
are normal.
Ball Joint Axial End Play
- Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position.
- Move axle side of transverse link, and check the axial end play
by moving the transverse link up and down.
Axial end play : Refer to FSU-26, "Ball Joint".
CAUTION:
- Do not depress brake pedal when measuring.
- Do not perform this inspection with the tires on the
ground.
- Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage
components by applying excessive force.
STRUT
Check for oil leakage and damage. Replace if necessary.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Inspection
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If the wheel alignment is out of specifaction, inspect and replace any damaged
or worn rear suspension parts
before making any adjustments.
Check the following:
- Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under
unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, engine coolant, and lubricants are full; the spare
tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
designated positions.
- Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
Refer to WT-65, "Tire Air Pressure".
- Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-56, "Inspection".
- Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-7,
"Inspection" (FWD), or FAX-38, "Inspection"
(AWD).
- Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
- Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive
looseness or damage.
- Check each link, arm, and the suspension member for any damage.
- Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-26, "Wheelarch Height (Unladen*)".
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
- A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
- This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN 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 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.
LIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to
FSU-26, "Wheel Alignment
(Unladen*1)".
- 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.
- Most camera-type alignment machines are equipped with both
“Rolling Compensation” method and optional
“Jacking Compensation” method to “compensate” the alignment targets or head
units. “Rolling Compensation”
is the preferred method.
- If using the “Rolling Compensation” method, after installing the
alignment targets or head units, push or pull
on the rear wheel to move the vehicle. Do not push or pull on the vehicle
body.
- If using the “Jacking Compensation” method, after installing the
alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
NOTE:
Do not use the “Rolling Compensation” method if you are using sensor-type
alignment equipment.
- Follow all instructions for the alignment machine you're using for
more information.
Last line
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES INSPECTION
- Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
- Before inspection, set the front wheels onto a turning radius gauge. Set
the rear wheels onto a pad that has
the same height so the vehicle will remain horizontal.
TOTAL TOE-IN INSPECTION
Measure the total toe-in using the following procedure.
WARNING:
- Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
- Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing
it.
- Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle
height (posture).
- Push on the rear wheel to move the vehicle straight ahead about 5
m (16 ft).
- Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
- Measure the distance (A) from the rear side.
- Push on the rear wheel to move the vehicle slowly ahead and to
rotate the wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
CAUTION:
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
try the above procedure again from the beginning. Do not
push vehicle backward.
- Measure the distance (B) from the front side.
- Use the formula below to calculate total toe-in.
Total toe-in : A - B
Total toe-in specification : Refer to FSU-26, "Wheel Alignment (Unladen*1)".
- If the total toe-in is outside the specification, adjust the total
toe-in. Refer to FSU-8, "Adjustment".
Adjustment
TOE-IN
- Loosen the steering outer socket. Adjust the length using the
steering inner socket.
Toe-in : Refer to FSU-26, "Wheel Alignment (Unladen*
1)".
CAUTION:
- Always evenly adjust both toe-in alternately and adjust the
difference between the left and right to
the standard.
- Always hold the steering inner socket when tightening the
steering outer socket.
- After toe-in adjustment, adjust neutral position of steering angle
sensor. Refer to BRC-70, "Work Procedure".
