GENERAL INFORMATION

Front Suspension. Consists of control arms, struts, stabilizer bar and crossmember. The crossmember is attached to the body with bolts.

The control arms are connected to the steering knuckles with ball joints.

Rear Suspension. MacPherson type. The struts are attached to the body mounts and to the knuckles. At the lower end, the suspension arms and trailing links are attached to the knuckles. The stabilizer bar is attached to the body with brackets and linked to the struts with links.

Steering. The steering shaft is single-section, located in the steering column, which is bolted to the bulkhead of the engine compartment. The shaft is connected to the steering gear through a universal joint. The steering gear is mounted on the engine compartment bulkhead and connected to the steering knuckles through tie rods and end joints.

Since 1994, vehicles are equipped with airbags mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The airbags deploy in the event of a collision. The deployment command is sent from the control unit, which receives information from the relevant sensors. The airbags must be inspected only at an authorized Nissan service center.
