Removal.
1. Remove brake caliper assembly.
Brake hose does not need to be disconnected from
brake caliper assembly.
2. Remove wheel hub with disc brake rotor and
wheel bearing from spindle.

Be careful not to drop outer bearing.
3. If replacement of outer race is necessary, drive
it out from hub with a brass drift and mallet.

WHEEL BEARING
Make sure wheel bearing rolls freely and is free
from noise, crack, pitting or wear.
WHEEL HUB
Check wheel hub for cracks by using a magnetic
exploration or dyeing test, and replace if cracked.

¢ Pack hub and hub cap with recommended
multi-purpose grease up to shaded portions.
© Coat each bearing cone with recommended
multi-purpose grease.
FA-4 FRONT AXLE — Wheel Hub
After wheel bearing has been replaced or front axle
has been reassembled, adjust wheel bearing pre-
load.
1. Throughly clean all parts to prevent dirt entry
before adjustment.
2. Apply recommended multi-purpose
sparingly to the following parts.

Removal and Installation.
© Remove brake caliper assembly without
disconnecting brake line.
© Remove knuckle arm fixing bolts.
srag7e
Make sure brake hose is secure.
Disassembly
Avoid dirt and dust getting inside strut.
Compress spring to permit turning of strut
mounting insulator by hand.
Remove piston rod lock nut.
Be careful not to damage bolts.
sras72
Remove gland packing with Tool. Retract
piston rod by pushing it down until it bottoms. FRONT SUSPENSION — Spring and Strut Assembly
Inspection
© Wash all parts, except for nonmetallic parts,
clean with suitable solvent and dry with com-
pressed air.
© Blow dirt and dust off of nonmetallic parts
with compressed air.
a. Oil leakage around gland packing does not need
strut replacement.
If oil leakage is evident on spring seat, check
piston rod, gland packing and O-ring.
If il leakage occurs on welded portion of
outer strut casing, replace strut assembly.
b. If shock absorber is damaged, replace as shock.
absorber kit (including piston rod, cylinder,
bottom valve, guide bushing and O-ring).
GLAND PACKING
Check gland packing for oil leakage. Replace gland
packing if necessary.
INNER CYLINDER AND OUTER CASING
© Check inner cylinder and outer casing for
cracks, deformation or other damage. For inner
cylinder damage, replace shock absorber. For
outer casing damage, replace strut assembly.

melted or cracked. Rubber parts need replacement,
if deteriorated.
STRUT MOUNTING BEARING
Check strut mounting bearing for noise or rattle in
axial direction. Replace if necessary.

‘Assembly
Before assembly, keep all parts away from dust.
© Add oil.
Use “NISSAN GENUINE STRUT FLUID” or
equivalent.
Oil capacity is very important since strut perform-
ance varies with amount of fluid in strut.
