2008 Nissan Armada Service and Repair Manual

This 2008 Nissan Armada factory service and repair manual is built around this exact year, the 5.6L V8 (VK56DE), and your trim, so the torque values and diagnostic steps you follow are the ones Nissan published for this truck rather than a generic full-size SUV procedure.

• 5.6L V8 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline or flex-fuel

• 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

• LE

Known issues on the 2008 Armada. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year. Front and rear lower control link collars can carry improper welds, and if a weld separates, vehicle handling will deteriorate. A brake pedal pivot pin not spin-formed to specification can slide and partially disengage the pedal from its bracket, reducing braking force. Manual front seat tracks may be out of specification, so the seat pawl can fail to fully engage. Side curtain air bags can be impeded from inflating correctly by an out-of-spec A-pillar finisher. The instrument panel fuel gauge can inaccurately show fuel remaining when the tank is empty, risking a stall. The driver's side third-row seat belt upper anchor bracket may crack, compromising restraint. And the driver's air bag cover emblem can crack and detach, becoming a projectile during deployment. Owners have filed 161 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a control link inspection to a brake pedal check or a front seat track service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 Armada.
