Nissan Micra Front Wheel Alignment & Ball Joint Specs - FA-14 Service Data

This page (FA-14) is from the Front Axle (FA) section of a Nissan factory service manual, titled 'Service Data and Specifications (S.D.S.) — Inspection and Adjustment.' It provides front-end alignment and suspension specifications. The Wheel Alignment (Unladen) table lists camber (-25' to 1°05'), caster (1°30' - 3°00'), toe-in (2-4 mm / 0.08-0.16 in, or 12'-24' total toe), kingpin inclination (12°25' - 13°55'), front wheel turning angles for toe-out and full turn, side slip limits, and the tie-rod standard length L=107.1 mm (4.22 in), illustrated by figure SFA192A. Footnotes define 'unladen' condition (full fuel, coolant, oil; spare tire, jack, tools, and mats in position). The Wheel Bearing table gives axial play (0), lock nut tightening torque 78-157 N·m (8.0-16.0 kg-m, 58-116 ft-lb), and bearing starting torque values with new and used grease seals. The Lower Ball Joint section specifies stud end play 0.5 mm (0.020 in) and turning torque 0.15-3.43 N·m, plus a comprehensive spacer thickness selection chart listing marks B01-B18 and B61-B77 with corresponding thickness ranges in mm and inches. Useful for anyone performing front-end alignment, wheel bearing service, or lower ball joint replacement.
