Inspection INFOID:0000000003491902

1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation. B

2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance C
machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown in the illustration. Refer to WT-7,
"Road Wheel". D
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check front suspension for looseness.

WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY
Balancing Wheels INFOID:0000000003491903

Removal
1. Remove inner and outer balance weights from the wheel.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the wheel during removal.
2. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the wheel.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the wheel during removal.
• After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the wheel.
Wheel Balance Adjustment
• If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for wheels.
1. Set wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer imbal-
ance value by 1.6 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with
a value closest to the calculated value and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the desig-
nated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:
• Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
• Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the wheel.
Indicated imbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance
weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 g = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 g = 40 g (1.41 oz)

 WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
a. Install balance weight in the position shown.
b. When installing balance weight to wheels, set it into the grooved A
area on the inner wall of the wheel as shown so that the balance
weight center is aligned with the wheel balancer indication posi-
tion (angle). B
CAUTION:
• Always use genuine Nissan adhesion balance weights.
• Balance weights are not reusable; always replace with
new ones. C
• Do not install more than three sheets of balance weights.

c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install

two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown. H
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again. I
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION: J
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
imbalance values are 5 g (0.18 oz) each or below. SMA056D

• If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz),
repeat installation procedures.

Rotation INFOID:0000000003491904

• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-5, "Periodic Maintenance". N
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing O
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
