ALUMINUM WHEEL

1.

Check tires for wear and improper inflation.

2.

Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage.
If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.

a.

Remove tire from aluminum wheel and mount on a tire balance
machine.

b.

Set dial indicator as shown in the figure.

STEEL WHEEL

1.

Check tires for wear and improper inflation.

2.

Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.

a.

Remove tire from steel wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance
machine.

b.

Set two dial indicators as shown in the figure.

c.

Set each dial indicator to 0.

d.

Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points around
the circumference of the wheel.

e.

Calculate runout at each point as shown below.

f.

Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum nega-
tive value.
Add the two values to determine total runout.
In case a positive or negative value is not available, use the
maximum value (negative or positive) for total runout.
If the total runout value exceeds the limit, replace steel wheel.

Wheel runout (Dial indicator value):

Refer to

WT-38, "SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICA-

TIONS (SDS)"

.

Radial runout = (A+B)/2

Lateral runout = (C+D)/2

Balancing Wheels (Bonding Weight Type)

NES00032

REMOVAL

1.

Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

2.

Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

●

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

●

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
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 road wheels.

1.

Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.

2.

When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated 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 road wheel.

Indicated unbalance value

×

5/3 = balance weight to be installed

Caluculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz)

×

5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz)

Þ

40 g (1.41 oz) bal-

ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4

Þ

35 g (1.23 oz)

37.5

Þ

40 g (1.41 oz)

a.

Install balance weight in the position shown in the figure.

b.

When installing balance weight to road wheels, set it into the
grooved area on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown in the
figure so that the balance weight center is aligned with the tire
balance machine indication position (angle).

CAUTION:

●

Always use genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.

●

Balance weights are unreusable; always replace with new
ones.

●

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.

ROAD WHEEL TIRE ASSEMBLY

c.

If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.

CAUTION:

Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.

3.

Start wheel balancer again.

4.

Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
tire balance machine indication position (angle).

CAUTION:

Do not install more than two balance weights.

5.

Start tire balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer resid-
ual unbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.

●

If either residual unbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.

Wheel balance (Maximum allowable unbalance):

Tire Rotation

NES00033

CAUTION:

Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.

NOTE:
Tire cannot be rotated in vehicle, as front tire are different size from rear tire and the direction of wheel rotation
is fixed in each tire.

DESCRIPTION
Safety Device Preventing from Being Incorrectly Installed

Front brake disc rotor and front wheel

●

Front and rear wheel size for this model differs, therefore a special pin has been installed on the front
brake disc rotor. To accommodate this pin a hole has been provided on the front wheel (the rear wheel
does not have this hole.) and in some case the rear wheel is being mistakenly installed on the front.

Maximum allowable
unbalance

Dynamic (At rim flange)

Less than 5 g (0.17 oz) (one side)

Static (At rim flange)

Less than 10 g (0.35 oz)
