On-Vehicle Inspection BDS0007Y
Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each components and the component condi-
tions (wear, damage) are normal.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION

Move wheel hub and bearing assembly in the axial direction by hand make sure there is no looseness of
wheel bearing.

Rotate wheel hub and make sure that is no unusual noise or other irregular conditions. If there is any of
irregular conditions, replace wheel hub and bearing assembly.
Removal and InstallationBDS0007Z
COMPONENT
REMOVAL

WHEEL HUB

4. Put matching mark on disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing
assembly, then remove disc rotor.
5. Remove bolts, and then remove wheel hub and bearing assem-
bly from axle housing.
6. Remove hub cap from axle housing.
Axle Housing
1. Remove wheel hub and bearing assembly from axle housing. Refer to RAX-3, "Wheel Hub and Bearing
Assembly" .
2. Remove parking brake shoe and parking brake cable from back plate. Refer to PB-5, "
PARKING BRAKE
SHOE" , PB-3, "PARKING BRAKE CONTROL" .
3. Remove anchor block mounting nuts, then remove anchor block and back plate from axle housing.
4. Remove coil spring. Refer to RSU-15, "
REAR LOWER LINK & COIL SPRING" .
5. Remove axle housing side nuts and bolts on radius rod and front lower link. Refer to RSU-13, "
RADIUS
ROD" , RSU-14, "FRONT LOWER LINK" .
6. Remove cotter pin, and then loosen suspension arm mounting nut of axle housing.
7. Remove suspension arm from axle housing so as not to damage ball joint boot using the ball joint remover
(suitable tool), and then remove axle housing from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads and to prevent ball joint remover (suit-
able tool) from suddenly coming off.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the components for deformation, cracks and other damage. Replace if there are.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check suspension arm ball joint boot for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to RSU-11, "INSPECTION
AFTER REMOVAL" .
INSTALLATION
Wheel Hub and Bearing Assembly

Installation is the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque, refer to RAX-3, "COMPONENT" .
NOTE:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Assemble disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing assembly by
aligning each matching mark as shown in the figure when install-
ing disc rotor.
NOTE:
Refer to BR-33, "
REAR DISC BRAKE" for assembly when
removing disc rotor without matching mark.

Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to
BRC-33, "
WHEEL SENSORS" .

Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking
the wheel alignment for the models with VDC. Refer to BRC-40,
"Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionBES0003W

When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be performed under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
–Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. A spare tire, a jack, hand tools
and mats are in designated positions.

After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.

Self-locks nut are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nut are pre-
oiled, tighten as they are.
