Hi, my MOT advisory stated this steering arm (HICAS) had slight play.

 

I have one to fit.

 

Can someone tell me if I then need the rear steer alignment tested?

 

Four wheel set up is it a Nissan dealer job?

I believe you would need to get it done so that there isn't any uneven wear on the tire. You can get the alignment done at a local garage if they offer 4 wheel alignment. Dealers would just cost you ever more.

I did this job yesterday, there's an excellent write up by Jeff. It's quite easy, the only slight annoyance was that I had to remove the exhausts to get good access.

The big problem was getting someone to do the alignment afterwards. I went to six garages, the two wheel alignment ones didn't want to touch it and the 4 wheel places wouldn't touch it because of the aftermarket wheels.

I had to beg in the end and say I would do the adjustment if they let me use their equipment!

You need to get it done, but any two wheel place will do. They just need to put the car on the ramp backwards. Good luck finding somewhere that will!
