Front Axle and Front Suspension Parts
ICheck front axle and front suspension parts for looseness,
cracks, wear or other damage.
(1) Shake each front wheel.
(2) Make sure that cotter pin is inserted.
(3) Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
: Refer to ªFRONT SUSPENSIONº, FA-29.
(4) Check front axle and front suspension parts for wear, cracks or
other damage.
ICheck shock absorber for oil leakage or other damage.
ICheck suspension ball joints for grease leakage and dust cov-
ers for cracks or other damage.
ICheck ball joint for vertical end play.
Upper ball joint:
1.6 mm (0.063 in) or less
(1) Jack up front of vehicle and set the stands.
(2) Clamp dial indicator onto transverse link and place indicator tip
on lower edge of brake caliper.
(3) Make sure front wheels are straight and brake pedal is
depressed.
(4) Place a pry bar between transverse link and inner rim of road
wheel.
(5) While pushing and releasing pry bar, observe maximum dial
indicator value.
(6) If ball joint movement is beyond specifications, remove and
recheck it.

Lower ball joint:
0.5 mm (0.020 in) or less
(1) Jack up front of vehicle and set the stands.
(2) Remove road wheel.
(3) Clamp dial indicator onto upper link and place indicator tip on
knuckle near ball joint.
(4) Jack up lower link [Approx. 20 mm (0.79 in)].
(5) Place a pry bar between upper link and upper link spindle.
(6) While pushing and releasing pry bar observe maximum dial
indicator value.
(7) If ball joint movement is beyond specifications, remove and
recheck it.
Front Wheel Bearing
ICheck that wheel bearings operate smoothly.
ICheck axial end play.
Axial end play: 0 mm (0 in)
IAdjust wheel bearing preload if there is any axial end play or
wheel bearing does not turn smoothly.
PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT
Adjust wheel bearing preload after wheel bearing has been
replaced or front axle has been reassembled.
Adjust wheel bearing preload as follows:
1. Before adjustment, thoroughly clean all parts to prevent dirt
entry.
2. Apply multi-purpose grease sparingly to the following parts:
IThreaded portion of spindle
IContact surface between wheel bearing washer and outer
wheel bearing
IGrease seal lip
IWheel hub (as shown at left)
