CautionEDS0005P
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and servicing drive shaft.
lThe wheel joint cannot be disassembled. Do not attempt to disassemble it.
lPerform work in a location which is as dust-free and dirt-free as possible.
lBefore disassembling and servicing, clean the outside of parts.
lThe disassembly and service location must be clean. Care must be taken to prevent parts from becoming
dirty and to prevent the entry of foreign objects.
lDisassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean
cover must be placed over parts.
lPaper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adher-
ing to parts.
lDisassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by
blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.
Precautions for Brake SystemEDS0 00 I0
lWhen installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out
under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake tubes.
lAfter installing removed suspension parts, check wheel align-
ment and adjust if necessary.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.

CautionEES0006Z
lWhen installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on flat, level ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
l“Unladen condition” means that fuel, coolant and lubricant are full and ready for drive. However, spare tire,
jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.
lAfter installing the removed suspension parts, always check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
lReplace the caulking nut with a new one. Install a new nut without wiping the oil off before tightening.

On-Vehicle Inspection and Service
EES00072
LOOSENESS, BACKLASH AND DAMAGE OF MOUNTING PARTS AND CONNECTIONS
Lift vehicle and inspect the following:
lCheck mounting point of each component for looseness, backlash and damage.
lCheck lower ball joint end play.
1. Attach a dial gauge so that the contact rests on the brake caliper.
2. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
3. Measure axial endplay by placing an iron pry bar or something similar between transverse link and steer-
ing knuckle.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
4. If axial endplay is outside the standard, remove transverse link and check lower ball joint.
Wheel AlignmentEES00073
DESCRIPTION
lMeasure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions” means that fuel, coolant, and
lubricant are full. However, spare tire, jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check the tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check road wheels for runout.
3. Check wheel bearing axial endplay.
4. Check lower ball joint axial endplay.
5. Check strut operation.
6. Check each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Check each link and arm for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
8. Check the vehicle posture.
INSPECTION OF CAMBER, CASTER, AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES
lCamber, caster, and kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
lBefore inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand that has
same height so the vehicle will remain horizontal.
1. Measure camber, caster and kingpin inclination of both right and
left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
2. If camber, caster or kingpin inclination is not within specification,
inspect front suspension parts. Replace dam-aged or worn out
parts.
