1. Bring the transmission up to operating temperature
(the radiator fan comes on) by driving the vehicle.
Park the vehicle on level ground. turn the engane
off. then remove the drain Plug.
NOTE: lf a cooler flusher is to be used, see page

Wlrile testing, be careful of the rotaling wheols.
Mako sure lifts, iacks, and safety stands ar€ placed
properly (see scction 11.
Before testing, be sure the transmission fluid is
filled to the proPer level.
4WD:
Raise the vehicle (see section 11.
2WD:
Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is
securely supported. Set the parking brake, and block
both rear wheels securely.
Allow all four wheels {4WD) or front wheels (2wD}
to rotate freely.
Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on),
then stop it and connect the tachometer.
Connect the oil pressure gauges to each inspection
hole securely, and do not allow dust or other foreign
particles to enter the inspection holes.

Wheel/Hub lnspection
Bearing End Play
1.Raise the vehicle off the ground, and make sure it is
securely supported.
Remove the wheels, then reinstall the wheel nuts.
Attach the dial gauge as shown.
Measure the bearing end play by moving the disc or
drum inward or outward.
Front/Rear;
Standard: 0 - 0.05 mm (0 - 0.002 in)
Measure end play at thehub flange.
Rear:
Measure end play at center ofthe hub flange.108 N.m{11.0 kgf.m, q} lbf.ftl
It the bearing end play measurement is more than
the standard, replace the wheel bearing.
1.
Wheel Runout
Raise the vehicle off the ground, and make sure it is
securely supported,
Check for bent or deformed wheels.
Attach the dial gauge as shown.
Measure the wheel runout by turning the wheel.
Front and Rear Whoel Axial Runout:
Standard:
Steel Wheel: 0 - 1.0 mm {0 - 0.0i[ in]
Aluminum Wheel: 0 - 0.7 mm l0 - 0.03 in)
Service Limit:2.0 mm 10.08 inl
Front and Rear Wheel Radial Runout:
Standard:
Steel Whoal: 0 - 1.0 mm (0 - 0.04 inl
Aluminum Whoel: 0 - 0.7 mm {0 - 0.03 in}
Servics Limit:1.5 mm (0.06 inl
lf the wheel runout is more than the service limit,
reolace the wheel.

Rear Suspension
Suspension Arms Replacement
@ when the suspension arms are to be removed, plsce additional weight in lhe trunk beto.o hoisting. when
substantial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center ot grsvity m8y chango causing the vehicle to tip
forward.
Note these items during replacement:
. Replace the self-locking nuts after removal.
. Any bolts or nuts connected to rubber mounts or bushings should be tightened with the vehicle on the ground.
. Make sure the toe adjusting bolts on the compensator arm are installed in the same direction,
. After installing the suspension arm, check the rear wheel alig nment, and adjust if necessa ry (see page 18-4),
