Service Notice Or Precautions For Steering System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Nissan Versa. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In case of removing steering gear assembly, make the final tightening with grounded and unloaded vehicle condition, and then check wheel alignment.
Observe the following precautions when disassembling.
- Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
- Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
- For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
- Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with their operation.
- Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
- Before assembling, apply the specified grease to the directed parts.
