What is the toe-in specification for the front wheels?

Total toe-in is 2 - 4 mm (0.08 - 0.16 in), or 12' - 24'. Camber, caster and kingpin inclination are preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted.

What is the strut-to-knuckle bolt torque?

98 - 118 N·m (10.0 - 12.0 kg-m, 72 - 87 ft-lb).

What is the wheel bearing (hub nut) torque and axial play spec?

Torque is 78 - 157 N·m (8 - 16 kg-m, 58 - 116 ft-lb) with axial play of 0 mm (0 in). Do not overtighten, as this can cause wheel bearing seizure.

What is the wheel bearing rotation starting torque?

0.8 - 2.7 N·m (8 - 28 kg-cm, 6.9 - 24.3 in-lb) with grease seal; as measured at the wheel hub bolt, 15.7 - 54.9 N (1.6 - 5.6 kg, 3.5 - 12.3 lb). Do not include dragging resistance from brake pads.

What is the strut top mounting nut torque?

31 - 42 N·m (3.2 - 4.3 kg-m, 23 - 31 ft-lb) at the strut mounting insulator, and 25 - 30 N·m (2.6 - 3.1 kg-m, 19 - 22 ft-lb) at the piston rod nut area.

This is page FA-2 from a Nissan factory service manual section titled "Front Axle and Front Suspension," uploaded to a 1990 Nissan Micra gallery. It presents an exploded illustration of the front suspension assembly (MacPherson strut type) with labeled components: strut mounting insulator assembly, dust cover, coil spring, strut assembly, transverse link, drive shaft, knuckle, and wheel hub. Torque specifications in N·m (kg-m, ft-lb) are given at key fastener points: strut top 31-42 (3.2-4.3, 23-31); a second upper fastener 25-30 (2.6-3.1, 19-22); strut-to-knuckle 98-118 (10.0-12.0, 72-87); a transverse link fastener 88-108 (9.0-11.0, 65-80); another link fastener 49-59 (5.0-6.0, 36-43); and a bracket bolt 36-47 (3.7-4.8, 27-35). Wheel alignment notes state camber, caster and kingpin inclination are factory preset and non-adjustable; only toe-in is adjustable at 2-4 mm (0.08-0.16 in), 12'-24' total toe-in. Wheel bearing notes specify 0 mm axial play, hub nut torque 78-157 N·m (8-16 kg-m, 58-116 ft-lb), rotation starting torque 0.8-2.7 N·m with grease seal, and shim adjustment per S.D.S. Figure reference SFA704.
