Manual Description
SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS (SDS) 15, when installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out under unladen condition* with tires, *: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full, after installing removed suspension parts, check wheel alignment adjust necessary.
Observe the following precautions when disassembling servicing drive shaft, perform work in a location which is as dust-free dirt-free possible, before disassembling and servicing, clean outside parts, the disassembly and service location must be clean.
Dirty and to prevent the entry foreign objects, disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order, cover must be placed over parts, paper shop cloths must be used.
Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by, blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths, removing inner race on outer side wheel, nOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) TROUBLESHOOTING.
Refer to DRIVE SHAFT chart, refer to REAR AXLE chart, use the chart below to help you find the cause of the symptom, inspect to check that there is no excessive play, cracking, wear, or other damage rear axle.
Turn rear wheels (left/right) check play, with vehicle raised, inspect following, move wheel hub in the axial direction by hand, rotate wheel hub and check that there is no unusual noise or other irregular condition.
Discard the old hub lock nut; replace with new one, remove brake caliper from axle housing and hang it up somewhere, avoid depressing the brake pedal while brake caliper, remove disc rotor and parking brake assembly back plate.
Remove wheel sensor axle housing, remove nut and bolt from axle housing side radius rod, remove nuts and bolts from axle housing side of front and rear parallel link, refer to component parts drawing for tightening torque.
Set axle housing on bench vise, attachment (SST) and sliding hammer (SST) remove wheel, hub and bearing assembly axle housing, when placing onto bench vise, be careful not damage.
Strut mounting surface of steering knuckle, use a bearing replacer (suitable tool), puller (suitable tool), drift (SST) to remove inner race outer-wheel bearing, remove back plate installation bolt anchor block.
Use a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool remove snap ring, use a drift (SST) to remove wheel bearing axle housing, inspect wheel hub for deformation, cracks, and other damage, inspect axle housing for deformation, cracks, and other damage.
Check snap ring for deformation, cracks, and other damage, use a drift (SST) to press fit wheel bearing into axle housing, discard the old wheel bearing; replace with new one, use a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool install snap.
Install back plate and anchor block onto axle housing, use a drift (SST) to install wheel hub onto axle housing, after completing step 4, apply an additional load 49,030 N, reverse directions times each to ensure good fit.
Place a spring balance at the point where the strut is joined (upper side bolt hole) measure rotating, torque when spring is pulled at a speed of 8 -12 rpm, if a load of 49,030 N (5,000 kg, 11,025 lb) cannot be applied.
