WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure outer diameters (d1, d2) at two positions as shown.
Measure d2 at a point with A.

When the value of d1 - d2 exceeds the limit (a large difference in dimensions) replace the bolt with a new one.
