FRONT DRIVE SHAFT 4A-11
For DOJ Type Drive Shaft
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and what is
found though visual check of component parts after disassembly,
prepare replacing parts and proceed to reassembly.
Make sure that wheel side joint assembly (1) and DOJ housing
(2) are washed thoroughly and air dried, and boots (3) are
cleaned with cloth if they are to be reused.
“A” : Black grease (about 60 - 80 g/2.1 - 2.8 oz)
“B” : Black grease (rather light than “A”)
(about 70 - 90 g/2.5 - 3.2 oz)
1) Wash disassembled parts (except boots). After washing. dry
parts completely by blowing air.
2) Clean boots with cloth. Do not wash boots in degreaser,
such as gasoline or kerosene, etc.
Washing in degreaser causes deterioration of boot.
3) Apply grease to wheel side joint. Use specified grease in
tube included in wheel side boot set.
4) Install wheel side boot on shaft, fill up boot inside with
grease and then fasten boot with bands (1).
5) Install dynamic damper (1) on left side drive shaft according
to dimension specified below. (For A/T model of 2WD vehi-
cle)
Dynamic damper installing position
“a” : 151 - 157 mm (5.9 - 6.2 in.)
6) Set new differential side small bend and differential side boot
on shaft temporarily. CAUTION:
To ensure full performance of joint as designed, be sure
to distinguish between two types of grease in repair set
and apply specified volume to respective joint.
[A] : Wheel side
[B] : Differential side
CAUTION:
Bend each boot band against forward rotation (A).
Do not squeeze or distort boot when fastening it with
bands.
Distorted boot caused by squeezing air may reduce its
durability.

12) When fixing boot (1) to outer race (2) with differential side big
band (3), adjust so that measurements become as indicated
below.

“d” : 157.8 mm (6.21 in.) for left side
“e” : 192.9 mm (7.59 in.) foe right side
For Center Shaft and Center Bearing Support
Install center shaft by reversing removal procedure and noting fol-
lowing points
When installing bearing support circlip (1), make sure that if
fits in circlip groove in center bearing support (2) securely as
shown.
When installing left oil seal (1), use care so that oil seal in
proper direction as shown figure.
Be sure to apply grease to oil seal lip and bearing side space
indicated in figure.
“A” : Grease 99000-25010
After press-fit center shaft (2) from left oil seal side, install
circlip to groove of center shaft securely. CAUTION:
To prevent any problem caused by washing solution, do
not wash joint boots. Degreasing of those parts with
cloth is allowed.
CAUTION:
Bend each boot band against forward rotation (A).
Do not squeeze or distort boot when fastening it with
bands.
Distorted boot caused by squeezing air may reduce its
durability.
[A] : Differential side

When installing right oil seal (1), use care so that oil seal in
proper direction as shown figure.
Be sure apply grease to oil seal lip and bearing side space
indicated in figure.
“A” : Grease 99000-25010
INSTALLATION
Install drive shaft assembly by reversing removal procedure and
noting following points.
Clean front wheel bearing oil seal (1) and then apply grease.
Replace it if required.
“A” : Grease 99000-25010
CAUTION:
To avoid excessive expansion of boot and consequen-
tial disconnection of joint in boot, do not pull differen-
tial side joint housing.
Protect oil seals and boots from any damage, prevent-
ing them from unnecessary contact while installing
drive shaft.
Do not hit joint boot with hammer. Inserting joint only
by hands is allowed.
Make sure that differential side joint is inserted fully
and its snap ring is seated as it was.

4B-2 PROPELLER SHAFTS
PROPELLER SHAFT JOINT CHECK
If universal joints are suspected of producing chattering or rattling
noise, inspect them for wear. Check to see if cross spider rattles
in yokes or if splines are worn down and replace defective propel-
ler shaft with new one.
Noise coming from universal joint can be easily distinguished
from other noises because rhythm of chattering or rattling is in
step with cruising speed. Noise is pronounced particularly on
standing start or in coasting condition (when braking effect of
engine is showing in the drive line).
