Symptom and possible cause Remedy
5. Noises when cornering


1Damaged differential gear. Replace.


2Excessive wear or damage of thrust washer. Replace.


3Broken pinion mate shaft. Replace.


4Seized or damaged side bearing. Replace.
6. Gear noises
Since noises from engine, muffler, transmission, propeller shaft, wheel bearings, tires, and body are sometimes mistaken for noises
from differential assembly, be careful in checking them. Inspection methods to locate noises include coasting, accelerating, cruising,
and jacking-up all four wheels. Perform these inspections according to condition of trouble. When listening to noises, shift gears into
four wheel drive and fourth speed position, trying to pick up only differential noise.


1Improper tooth contact of hypoid gear. Readjust or replace hypoid gear set.


2Improper backlash for hypoid gear. Readjust.


3Scored or chipped teeth of hypoid gear. Replace hypoid gear set.


4Seized hypoid gear. Replace hypoid gear set.


5Improper preload for front or rear bearings. Readjust.


6Seized, scored, or chipped front or rear bearing. Replace.


7Seized, scored, or chipped side bearing. Replace.


8Vibrating differential carrier. Replace.
2. Propeller Shaft
Symptom and possible cause Remedy
1. Vibration of propeller shaft
Vibration is caused by propeller shaft during operation and is transferred to vehicle body. Generally vibration increase in proportion to
vehicle speed.


1Worn or damaged universal joint. Replace.


2Unbalanced propeller shaft due to bend or dent. Replace.


3Loose installation of propeller shaft. Retighten.


4Worn or damaged center bearing and damaged center mount-
ing rubber.Replace.
2. Tapping when starting and noise while cruising, caused by propeller shaft.


1Worn or damaged universal joint. Replace.


2Worn spline of sleeve yoke. Replace.


3Loose installation of propeller shaft. Retighten.


4Loose installation of joint. Replace.


5Worn or damaged center bearing and damaged center mount-
ing rubber.Replace.
NOTE:
Vibration while cruising may be caused by an unbalanced
tire, improper tire inflation pressure, improper wheel
alignment, etc.

A: CHECKING OIL LEAKING POINTS
1. OIL LEAKING POINTS
1) If leak point is other than a, b, c, or d, perform check
step 5) in [W5A2] before dismounting gearbox from
vehicle. If gearbox is dismounted without confirming where
the leak is, it must be mounted again to locate the leak
point.
2) Even if the location of the leak can be easily found by
observing the leaking condition, it is necessary to thor-
oughly remove the oil from the suspected portion and turn
the steering wheel from lock to lock about 30 to 40 times
with engine running, then make comparison of the sus-
pected portion between immediately after and several
hours after this operation.
3) Before starting oil leak repair work, be sure to clean the
gearbox, hoses, pipes, and surrounding parts. After com-
pleting repair work, clean these areas again.

2. OIL LEAK CHECK PROCEDURE AND
REPLACEMENT PARTS
NOTE:
Parts requiring replacement are described in the smallest
unit of spare parts including damaged parts and spare
parts damaged. In actual disassembly work, accidental
damage as well as inevitable damage to some related
parts must be taken into account, and spare parts for them
must also be prepared. However, it is essential to pinpoint
the cause of trouble, and limit the number of replacement
parts as much as possible.
1) Leakage from“a”
The oil seal is damaged. Replace valve assembly with a
new one.
2) Leakage from“b”
The torsion bar O-ring is damaged. Replace valve assem-
bly with a new one.
3) Leakage from“c”
The oil seal is damaged. Replace valve assembly with a
new one.
4) Leakage from“d”
The pipe is damaged. Replace the faulty pipe or O-ring.
5) If leak is other than a, b, c, or d, and if oil is leaking from
the gearbox, move the right and left boots toward tie-rod
end side, respectively, with the gearbox mounted to the
vehicle, and remove oil from the surrounding portions.
Then, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock 30 to 40
times with the engine running, then make comparison of
the leaked portion immediately after and several hours
after this operation.
6) Leakage from“e”
The cylinder seal is damaged. Replace rack bush with a
new one.
7) Leakage from“f”
There are two possible causes. Take following step first.
Remove the pipe assembly B from the valve housing, and
close the circuit with ST.
ST 926420000 PLUG
Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock 30 to 40 times
with the engine running, then make comparison of the
leaked portion between immediately after and several
hours after this operation.
CAUTION:

If leakage from“f”is noted again:
The oil seal of pinion and valve assembly is damaged.
Replace pinion and valve assembly with a new one. Or
replace the oil seal and the parts that are damaged
during disassembly with new ones.

If oil stops leaking from“f”:
The oil seal of rack housing is damaged.
Replace the oil seal and the parts that are damaged
during disassembly with new ones.
