± SUSPENSION AND AXLEFRONT DRIVE SHAFT
REMOVAL
NOTICE:
The hub bearing could be damaged if it is subjected
to the vehicle weight, such as when moving the ve-
hicle with the drive shaft removed.
Therefore, if it is absolutely necessary to place the ve-
hicle weight on the hub bearing, first support it with
SST.
SST 09608±16042 (09608±02021, 09608±02041)
After disconnecting the drive shaft from the axle hub,
work carefully so as not to damage the ABS speed
sensor rotor serration on the drive shaft.

± SUSPENSION AND AXLEFRONT DRIVE SHAFT
INSTALLATION
1. LH drive shaft:
INSTALL DRIVE SHAFT TO TRANSAXLE
(a) Install a new snap ring to the inboard joint shaft.
(b) Coat the gear oil to the inboard joint shaft and differential case sliding surface.
(c) Set the snap ring with opening side facing downward.
(d) Using a brass bar and hammer, install the drive shaft.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the dust cover of the drive shaft and oil seal lip of the transaxle.
HINT:
Whether the inboard joint shaft is in contact with the pinion shaft or not can be known from the sound or feel-
ing when driving it in.
(e) Check that there is 2 ± 3 mm (0.08 ± 0.12 in.) of play in the axial direction.
(f) Check that the drive shaft cannot be removed by hand.
2. RH drive shaft:
INSTALL DRIVE SHAFT TO TRANSAXLE
(a) Install the drive shaft.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the dust cover of the drive shaft and oil seal lip of the transaxle.
(b) Using pliers, install a new snap ring.
(c) Install a new bearing lock bolt.
Torque: 32 N´m (330 kgf´cm, 24 ft´lbf)
3. CONNECT DRIVE SHAFT TO AXLE HUB
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the boot and ABS speed sensor rotor.
4. CONNECT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM TO LOWER BALL JOINT
Torque: 127 N´m (1,300 kgf´cm, 94 ft´lbf)
5. CONNECT TIE ROD END TO STEERING KNUCKLE
(a) Connect the tie rod end to the steering knuckle.
(b) Install the nut and a new cotter pin.
If the holes for the cotter pin are not aligned, tighten the nut further up to 60°.
Torque: 49 N´m (500 kgf´cm, 36 ft´lbf)
6. INSTALL DRIVE SHAFT LOCK NUT
(a) While applying brakes, install the nut.
Torque: 294 N´m (3,000 kgf´cm, 217 ft´lbf)
(b) Install the lock cap and a new cotter pin.
If the holes for the cotter pin are not aligned, tighten the nut further up to 60°.
7. FILL AND CHECK ATF (See page DI±133)
8. INSTALL FRONT FENDER APRON SEAL
9. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL
Torque: 103 N´m (1,050 kgf´cm, 76 ft´lbf)
10. CHECK FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT (See page SA±1)
11. CHECK ABS SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL (See page DI±177)
