When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires, - Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full, after servicing suspension parts, be sure check wheel alignment, self-lock nuts are not reusable.
The tightening surface must be kept free oil/grease, when jacking up the vehicle with a floor jack, do not hang the jack suspension beam, nOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) TROUBLESHOOTING, shock absorber deformation, damage deflection.
Use chart below to find the cause of the symptom, check the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component, check the shock absorber for oil leaks or damage, measure the wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricants are full, a Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed, this type of alignment is recommended any NISSAN vehicle, the four-wheel thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned steering wheel.

Measure the distance (A) rear side, push the rear wheel to move the vehicle slowly ahead, rotate the wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn), if the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
Try the above procedure again from beginning, measure the distance (B) front side, remove the rear shock tower access flap.
