c. Make surefront wheels arestraight andbrake pedalis
depressed.
d. Place apry bar between transverse linkand inner rimof
road wheel.
e. While raising andreleasing prybar, observe maximum dial
indicator value.
Vertical endplay: 0mm (0in)

f. Ifball joint vertical endplay exists, remove transverse link
and recheck theball joint. Refer toFA-27.

Wheel Bearing

• Check thatwheel bearings operatesmoothly.
• Check axialendplay.

Axial endplay: 0.05mm(0.0020 in)orless
• If
out ofspecification orwheel bearing doesnotturn
smoothly, replacewheelbearing assembly.

Rear AxleandRear Suspension Parts

Check axleandsuspension partsforexcessive play,wear or
damage.
• Shake eachrearwheel tocheck forexcessive play.
• Retighten allnuts andbolts tothe specified torque.

Tightening torque:
Refer toREAR SUSPENSION (RA-8).

• Check shockabsorber for
oil
leakage orother damage.

Rear Wheel Bearing

• Check axialendplay.

Axial endplay:
0.05 mm(0.0020 in)orless

• Check thatwheel hubbearings operatesmoothly.
• Check tightening torqueofwheel bearing locknut.

Removal andInstallation
CAUTION:
• Before removing therear suspension assembly,disconnect
the ABS wheel sensor fromtheassembly. Failuretodo so
may result indamage tothe sensor wiresandthesensor
becoming inoperative.

• Remove suspension assembly.
1. Disconnect brakehydraulic linesandparking brakecableat
toggle lever.(Models withdrum brakes.)
• Drain brake fluidbefore disconnecting brakelines.
2. Disconnect parkingbrakecablefromcaliper andremove
brake caliper androtor. (Models withdiscbrakes.)

Suspend caliperassembly withwire soasnot tostretch brake
hose.
Be careful nottodepress brakepedal, orpiston willpop out.
Make surebrake hoseisnot twisted.

3. Using atransmission jack,raise torsion beamalittle, and
remove nutsandbolts fromthetrailing arm,shock absorber
assembly (lowerside)andlateral link.
4. Lower transmission jack,andremove suspension.
5. Remove luggagecompartment trim.Refer toBT section.
6. Remove strutsecuring nuts(upper side).Thenpulloutstrut
assembly.
• Install suspension assembly.

CAUTION: Refill withnewbrake fluid"DOT
3".

Never reusedrained brakefluid.

1. Attach torsion beam,attrailing armandlateral link,tovehi-
cle. Donot tighten boltsatthis time.
2. Using atransmission jack,place lateral linkand control rod
horizontally againsttorsionbeam.Tighten laterallinkon
vehicle.
3. Attach shockabsorber assembly tovehicle. Thentighten the
lower sideofshock absorber assembly.
4. Lower torsion beamtofully extended position.Remove
transmission jackandtighten torsion beam,attrailing arm,
to specified torque.RefertoRA-8.
5. Install brakehydraulic linesandtighten flarenuts.

• Before removing lowerjointfrom gear, setgear inneutral
(wheels instraight-ahead position).Afterremoving lower
joint, putmatching markonpinion shaftandpinion housing
to record neutral position.
• Toinstall, setleftand right dustboots toequal deflection.

• Tighten gearhousing mounting bracketboltsinthe order
shown.
