and accordingly the removal and installation procedures of the axle hub and the knuckle have been
revised.
AXLE HUB AND KNUCKLE
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Caution
(1) For vehicles with AYC, be careful when handling the pole piece at the tip of the speed sensor so as
not to damage it by striking against other parts.
(2) For vehicles with AYC, be careful not to damage the rotors installed to B.J. outer race during removal
and installation of the drive shaft.
Post-installation Operation

INSPECTION
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT ROTATION STARTING
TORQUE CHECK
(1) After shaking the ball joint stud several times, install the
nut to the stud and use the special tool to measure the
rotation starting torque of the ball joint.
Standard value: 1.0 – 3.4 Nm
(2) When the measured value exceeds the standard value,
replace the ball joint assembly.
(3) When the measured value is lower than the standard
value, check that the ball joint turns smoothly without
excessive play. If so, it is possible to use that ball joint.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT DUST COVER
REPLACEMENT
When the dust cover is damaged during service work or grease
leaks out from the dust cover, replace the dust cover in the
conventional procedure. After replacement, check the dust
cover for cracks or damage by pushing it with finger.
