Question 1

How to remove and install the components of the driveaxle and steering knuckle on Nissan Altima?

Accepted Answer

To remove the components mentioned above, first, you need to pull a cotter pin and then turn the drive axle/hub nut. Then, unscrew the wheel lug nuts, lift the car, and place it on jack stands before detaching the wheel. Next to remove the brake disc; then to detachment of the wheel speed sensor of the knuckle. Then un-bolt the driveaxle/hub nut and pull-off the tie-rod end from the steering knuckle. Removing the strut to the steering knuckle nuts a little but leaving the bolts intact, then wobble the control arm ball joint from the steering knuckle. Remove the nut and the bolt attaching the driveaxle to the steering knuckle Strictly hold the end of the driveaxle with wire to avoid the overextension of the CV joints. To disassemble the knuckle from the strut, you will have to remove strut-to-knuckle bolts, after that take off the hub-to-steering knuckle bolts to disengage the two and finally, remove the brake disc splash shield. For installation, tighten the bolts fixing the hub, knuckle as well as the splash shield to the torque limit. Coat the splines of the driveaxle with the multi-purpose grease, locate the knuckle and hub and just fix the driveaxle in the hub. Press the knuckle into the strut flange and put the bolt and nuts in place but do not fasten it at the moment. Configure the control arm balljoint to the steering knuckle and fasten the tie-rod end to the steering knuckle arm using the new nut by torquing it according to the standard value and also torque the strut-to-knuckle nuts and fit a new cotter pin to the tie-rod end ballstud. Last, keep the brake disc in the hub and fasten the caliper to it and at last fix the drive axel with the nut and tighten it up to the required torque. Thread the wheel and lug nuts, and lower the car to the ground and finally hot the lug nuts to the right torque.

Accepted Answer

To remove the hub cap or wheel cover, take out the cotter pin and nut lock, then loosen the drive axle/hub nut. If the socket doesn't fit through the wheel's center opening, remove the wheel and install the spare. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands before removing the wheel. Next, take off the brake caliper and brake disc, and disconnect the brake hose from the strut. If equipped with ABS, disconnect and remove the wheel speed sensor. Remove the strut-to-steering knuckle nuts without removing the bolts yet. Separate the tie-rod end from the steering knuckle arm and the ball joint from the steering knuckle. Remove the strut-to-knuckle bolts and separate the knuckle from the strut while pushing the drive axle from the hub; if the drive axle sticks, tap the end with a hammer and brass punch, supporting it with a length of wire. For installation, lubricate the splines of the drive axle with multi-purpose grease, guide the knuckle and hub assembly into position, and insert the drive axle into the hub. Push the knuckle into the strut flange, install the bolts and two new nuts without tightening them yet, then attach the control arm to the steering knuckle and the tie-rod end to the steering knuckle arm, tightening the strut-to-knuckle nuts to the specified torque. Place the brake disc on the hub and install the caliper, then install the drive axle/hub nut and tighten it securely but not completely. Install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and finally tighten the lug nuts and the drive axle/hub nut to the specified torque, followed by installing the felt washer, nut lock, and a new cotter pin.

Accepted Answer

To take off the wheel the lug nuts have to be unscrewed, the car has to be lifted using a jack and supported on the stands before the wheel can be removed. Subsequently, unscrew the cotter pin and the driveaxle/hub nut and pull out the brake disc. Locate the wheel speed sensor and unclip it from the knuckle then finally, get ahold of the tie-rod end and remove it from the steering knuckle. Loosen and yet do not take out the strut to steering knuckle nuts and after that, disengage the control arm ball joint from the steering knuckle. Lift the steering knuckle away from the driveaxle by unscrewing the knuckle bolts and fasten the other end of the CV joint with wire. To remove the knuckle, undo the strut-to-knuckle bolts and pull the knuckle away from the strut After this undo the hub-to-steering knuckle bolts and pull the two to separate them and remove the brake disc splash shield. For installation, tighten the six M8 bolts to seventy and sixty-five newton meters for the hub, knuckle and the splash shield respectively. Apply the multi-purpose grease on the splines of the driveaxle, align the knuckle and the hub, and finally screw the driveaxle on the hub. Insert the knuckle into the strut flange and fit in the bolts and nuts though they should not be tightened at this time. Next, the control arm ball joint was bolted to the steering knuckle followed by joining the tie-rod end to the steering knuckle arm, the torque applied was 60 lb/ft for the tie rod end nut, while the strut to knuckle nuts were torqued at 80 lbft and a new cotter pin was inserted through a hole in the tie rod ball stud. Put the brake disc on the hub and locate the caliper onto it; screw the driveaxle/hub nut and tweak to meet the recommended torque. Last, the wheel and lug nuts have to be fitted and put in place and then the vehicle can be lowered and the lug nuts tightened to the recommended torque.
