WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Using wheel nuts, secure disc rotor to the wheel hub in 2 or more positions.
Inspect runout using a dial gauge.

- Measurement point: At a point 10 mm (0.39 in) from outer edge of the disc
- Maximum runout: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in) (with it attached to the vehicle) or less
CAUTION: Before measuring, make sure the axle end play is 0 mm (0 in). Refer to "FRONT WHEEL BEARING ".
If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting mounting positions of the disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
