2: For driving at 160 km/h (100 mph) or over
(b) Check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less
2. ROTATING TIRES
HINT:
See the illustration for where to rotate each tire.
3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off±the±car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On±the±car balance.

4. TEMPORARILY INSTALL OUTBOARD AND INBOARD
JOINT BOOTS AND NEW BOOT CLAMPS
HINT:
Before installing the boots, wrap the spline of the drive
shaft in vinyl tape to prevent the boots from being dam-
aged.
Before installing the boots, place 3 new clamps to the
small boot ends and large end (wheel side) and then
install boots to drive shaft.
5. INSTALL TRIPOD
(a) Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring.
(b) Place the beveled side of the tripod axial spline toward the
outboard joint shaft.
(c) Align the matchmarks placed before removal.
(d) Using a brass bar and hammer, tap in the tripod to the out-
board joint shaft.
NOTICE:
Do not tap the roller.
(e) Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring.
6. INSTALL BOOT TO OUTBOARD JOINT SHAFT
Before assembling the boot, coat the outboard joint and boot
with grease in the boot kit.
Grease capacity: (Color = Black)
100 ± 120 g (3.5 ± 4.2 oz.)
7. INSTALL INBOARD JOINT SHAFT TO OUTBOARD
JOINT SHAFT
(a) Coat the inboard joint and boot with grease in the boot kit.
Grease capacity: (Color = Yellow ocher)
125 ± 155 g (4.4 ± 5.5 oz)
(b) Align the matchmarks placed before removal, and install
the inboard joint shaft to the outboard joint shaft.
(c) Install the boot to the inboard joint shaft.
8. ASSEMBLE BOOT CLAMPS TO BOTH BOOTS
(a) Make sure that the 2 boots are on the shaft groove.
(b) Make sure that the 2 boots are not stretched or contracted
when the drive shaft is at standard length.
