Check using a scale if necessary.

DISC BRAKE : Rear Brake Rotor Inspection

INFOID:0000000004219672

VISUAL

Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace if there are.

RUNOUT

1. Fix disc rotor to wheel hub using wheel nuts (2 or more posi-

tions). 

2. Inspect runout using dial gauge. [Measured at 10 mm (0.39 in)

inside disc edge.]

NOTE:

Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axial end play

is within the specification. Refer to 

RAX-9, "Wheel Bearing

(Rear)"

.

3. When runout exceeds limit value, displace mounting positions of disc rotor by one hole. And then find a

position of the minimum value for runout. 

4. Replace disc rotor if it is outside repair limit after performing the above operation.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Boot

Check the boot for cracks and replace as necessary.

Outer Socket and Inner Socket

1. Ball joint swinging torque

• Hook Tool (spring balance) at the hooking position (cotter pin

hole) as shown. Pull on Tool (spring balance) and make sure

that Tool (spring balance) reads the specified value when

outer socket ball stud and inner socket (at measuring point * )

start to move. Replace outer socket and steering gear assem-

bly (part of inner socket) if the readings are outside the stan-

dard specified value. Refer to 

ST-18, "Steering Gear"

.

2. Ball joint rotating torque

• Make sure that the reading is within the following specified

range using Tool as shown. Replace outer socket if the read-

ing is outside the specified value. Refer to 

ST-18, "Steering

Gear"

.

3. Ball joint axial end play

• Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg-f, 111 lb-f) to ball stud.

Measure amount of stud movement using a dial gauge, and

then make sure that the value is within the specified range.

Replace outer socket and inner socket if the measured value

is outside the standard. Refer to 

ST-18, "Steering Gear"

.

• Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.

• Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.

• Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.

• Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint dust

cover for cracks or other damage.

CAUTION:

• After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached hard-

wares (I.e. anchor bolt, guide rail set). Nissan recommends to replace all seat belt assemblies in use

during a collision, unless not damaged and properly operating after minor collision.

Also inspect seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision, and replace if damaged or improperly

operating.

Seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal colli-

sion where the driver and passenger air bags are deployed.

• If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair.

Replace as seat belt assembly.

• If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace belt assembly.

• Never oil tongue and buckle.

• Use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.

For details, refer to 

SB-4, "Inspection"

 in SB section.

• Check anchors for loose mounting

• Check belts for damage

• Check retractor for smooth operation

• Check function of buckles and tongues when buckled and released
