2002 Nissan Sentra Alignment Specifications
First introduced on the U.S. market in 1982, Sentra is a compact family car manufactured by Nissan and sold worldwide. All Sentra sedans require periodic adjustment, often referred to as "alignment." The factory specifications for the alignment are the same for all 2002 Sentra models. These specifications are given for a vehicle at curb height with one-half tank of fuel.
Camber
Measured in degrees, camber is the outward or inward tilt of the wheel in relation to the center of the vehicle. The Sentra camber angle should be the same on both left and right wheels. Camber angles must be 50.25 degrees with the measuring accuracy of 0.45 degrees on the front wheels and -1.00 degrees with the measuring accuracy of 0.45 degrees on the rear wheels.
Caster
Caster is both the rearward and the forward tilt of the steering knuckle from the true vertical. Caster is the measurement in angles that is responsible for directional stability. The Sentra caster angle should be the same on both rear and front wheels. The angle must be +1.36 degrees with the maximum allowable difference of 0.85 degrees.
Toe
Toe is the difference between the leading and trailing inside edges of the front wheels. Total toe angles on the Sentra models must be +0.11 degrees with measuring range of 0.05 degrees. Toe-in specification should be set at 2 mm with maximum allowable difference of 1 mm.
