[YD22DDTi]
PRIMARY TIMING CHAIN
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Timing Chain
Check for cracks and excessive wear at roller links. Replace
chain if necessary.
INSTALLATION
1. Install rear chain case.
a. Apply a continuous bead of Genuine Liquid Gasket or eqivalent
on locations shown in the figure. Refer toEM-103, "
Precautions
for Liquid Gasket".
A: Apply bead so that it does not protrude into the oil passage.
B, C: Minimize overlapping area of bead, by starting and ending
at areas of bead as shown in the figure. Apply so that the portion
marked * comes at an external location but cannot be viewed
externally after engine assembly.
D: Leave the start and end areas of the bead slightly protruding
from the case surface.

Removal and InstallationEES00074
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires. Remove brake caliper and hung it aside.
CAUTION:
Avoid depressing brake pedal with brake caliper removed.
2. Remove electrical wires of ABS wheel speed sensor from strut.
3. Remove brake hose lock plate.
4. Remove mounting bolts and nuts securing steering knuckle to strut.
5. Remove mounting nuts on top of strut and remove upper mounting plate and strut from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
lRefer toFSU-5, "Components"in “Front Suspension Assembly” for tightening torque. Tighten in the
reverse order of removal.
lBe sure arrows on strut mount insulator and spring upper seat
are positioned as shown. Also be sure notch in strut spacer is
positioned as shown. Then install strut.
lAssemble upper mounting plate with its notch facing toward the
outside.
Disassembly and AssemblyEES00075
DISASSEMBLY
1. Install strut attachment to strut and fix it in a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing strut attachment, wrap a shop cloth around
strut to protect it from damage.
2. Slightly loosen piston rod lock nut.
WAR NIN G:
Do not remove piston rod lock nut completely. If it is
removed completely, coil spring jumps out and may cause
serious damage or injury.
3. Compress coil spring using a spring compressor.
WAR NIN G:
Make sure that the pawls of the two spring compressors are firmly hooked on the spring. The
spring compressors must be tightened alternately so as not to tilt the spring.
4. After making sure coil spring is free between upper and lower seats after Step 3. Remove piston rod lock
nut.
5. Remove small parts on strut.
lRemove strut spacer, strut mount insulator, thrust bearings, spring upper seat, and upper rubber seat.
Then remove coil spring.
6. Remove bound bumper from spring upper seat.
7. Gradually release spring compressor, and remove coil spring.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Strut Inspection
lCheck strut for deformation, cracks, and damage, and replace if necessary.
lCheck piston rod for damage, uneven wear, and distortion, and replace if necessary.
lCheck welded and sealed areas for oil leakage, and replace if necessary.

Removal and InstallationEES00076
REMOVAL
1. Remove steering knuckle from transverse link. Refer toFAX-7, "REMOVAL".
2. Remove mounting nuts and washers on lower portion of stabilizer connecting rod.
3. Slightly loosen transverse link mounting bolts.
4. Remove compression rod bracket mounting bolts.
5. Remove transverse link mounting bolts and nuts, and remove transverse link from suspension member.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks, and other damage. Replace the entire transverse
link assembly if cracks, deformation or any other damage is found.
Ball Joint Inspection
CAUTION:
Before measurement, move the ball joint at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
Oscillating Torque Inspection
lHook spring scale at cotter pin mounting hole. Confirm spring
scale measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.
lIf the value is outside the standard, replace transverse link.
Sliding Torque Inspection
lAttach mounting nut to ball stud. Check that sliding torque is
within specifications with a preload gauge.
lIf the value is outside the standard, replace transverse link.
Axial Endplay Inspection
lMove tip of ball joint in axial direction to check for looseness.
lIf any looseness is noted, replace transverse link.
INSTALLATION
lRefer toFSU-5, "Components"for tightening torque. Tighten in the reverse order of removal.
lWhen installing transverse link, confirm stopper rubber is properly installed (behind front bushing collar).
lTighten transverse link mounting bolts with vehicle unladen and all four tires on flat, level ground.

2. Use adjusting screws to perform aiming adjustment.
lFirst tighten the adjusting screw all the way and then make adjustment by loosening the screw.
If the vehicle front body has been repaired and/or the headlamp assembly has been replaced, check aim-
ing. Use the aiming chart shown in the figure.
lAdjust headlamps so that main axis of light is parallel to cen-
ter line of body and is aligned with point P shown in illustra-
tion.
lFigure to the left shows headlamp aiming pattern for driv-ing
on right side of road; for driving on left side of road, aiming
pattern is reversed.
lDotted lines to point P in illustration show center of head-
lamp.
lBasic illuminating area for adjustment should be within the
range shown at left. Adjust headlamps accordingly.

TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
1. Using dial gauge and scale, measure dimension "L1" between
clutch housing case end face and mounting face of adjusting
shim.
2. Install outer race onto differential side bearing on final gear side.
Holding lightly the outer race horizontally by hand, rotate final
gear five times or more (for smooth movement of bearing roller).
3. Using dial gauge and scale as shown in the figure, measure
dimension "L
2" between differential side bearing outer race and
transaxle case end face.
4. Install selected adjusting shim and then differential side bearing
outer race.
MAINSHAFT END PLAY
lWhen adjusting mainshaft end play, select adjusting shim for
mainshaft rear bearing. To select adjusting shim, measure clear-
ance “M” between transaxle case and mainshaft rear bearing.
lCalculate dimension "P" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the
following procedure to satisfy specification of end play for main-
shaft rear bearing.

CAUTION:
Up to 2 adjusting shims can be selected.
1. Using dial gauge and scale, measure dimension "L1" between
clutch housing case end face and mounting face of adjusting
shim.
2. Install outer race onto differential side bearing on final gear side.
Holding lightly the outer race horizontally by hand, rotate final
gear five times or more (for smooth movement of bearing roller).
3. Using dial gauge and scale as shown in the figure, measure
dimension "L
