FRONT WHEEL HUB AND KNUCKLE
4. Use a drift and a press to install wheel hub.
5. As shown in the figure, apply a load of 49030 N (5000 kg,11,025
lb). Rotate in forward and reverse directions 10 times each to
ensure a good fit.
6. At a rotation speed of 8 - 12 rpm, place a spring balance at the point where strut is joined (upper-side bolt
hole). Measure rotation torque. Refer toFAX-17, "
Wheel Bearing".

lAssemble drive shaft and tighten wheel hub lock nuts to specified torque. Then rotate in forward and
reverse direction 10 times each to ensure a good fit.
lAt a rotation speed of 8 - 12 rpm, place a spring balance on hub bolt to measure torque.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
lDo not allow drive shaft, with transaxle inserted, to hang down without support for counter
shaft, wheel joints, and other parts.
lWhen the drive shafts listed below have been removed, check that a circular clip is attached to the end.
lRemove installation bolt from right-side drive shaft support bearing bracket. Then remove bracket from
engine.
lRemove installation bolt from right-side drive shaft and remove drive shaft from side shaft.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
lMove joint in up/down, left/right, and axial directions. Check for
motion that is not smooth and for significant looseness.
lCheck for cracking and damage of boots, and for grease leak-
age.
INSTALLATION
lInstall support bearing bracket onto engine and tighten installation bolts to specified torque.
lInstall drive shaft to side shaft and tighten installation bolts to specified torque.
1. In order to prevent damage to differential side oil seal, first fit a
protector onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft. Slide drive
shaft slide joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
CAUTION:
Be sure to check that circular clip is securely fastened.
2. Insert drive shaft into steering knuckle. Install washers and tem-
porarily tighten lock nuts.
3. Install installation bolt for steering knuckle and strut.
4. Use lock plate to fix brake hose to strut.
5. Install tie rod to steering knuckle.
6. Install ABS wheel speed sensor.
7. Tighten lock nuts to specified torque.
8. Install cotter pin.
CAUTION:
Discard the old cotter pin; replace with a new one.

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.
