pacity, diameter, rim width, offset, and mounting configu-
ration. A wheel of improper size or type may affect wheel
and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, vehicle ground clearance, and tire clearance
to the body and the chassis. The wheel offset is 49 ± 1 mm
(1.93 ± 0.04 inches). Steel wheels may be identified by a
two– or three–letter code stamped into the rim near the
valve stem. Alloy wheels should have the code, the part
number, and the manufacturer ID cast into the back side.
INFLATION O TIRES
The pressure recommended for any vehicle line is careful-
ly calculated to give a satisfactory ride, handling, tread life,
and load–carrying capacity.
Tire pressure should be checked monthly or before any
extended trip. Check the tires when they are cold, after the
vehicle has sat for 3 hours or more, or has been driven less
than 1 mile. Set the tire pressure to the specifications on
the tire label located on the rear face of the driver’s door.
Tire inflation pressure is also given under ”Tire Size and
Pressure Specifications” in this section.
Valve caps or extensions should be on the valves to keep
dust and water out.
For sustained driving at speeds up to 140 km/h (85 mph),
inflate the tires to the pressure recommended on the tire.
Sustained driving at speeds faster than 140 km/h (85mph), even if permitted by law, is not advised unless the
vehicle has special high–speed tires available from many
tire dealers. Tire pressures may increase as much as 41
kPa (6 psi) when the tires are hot.
Higher than recommended tire pressure can cause
S Hard ride.
S Tire bruising or damage.
S Rapid tread wear at the center of the tire.
Lower than recommended pressure can cause
S Tire squeal on turns.
S Hard steering.
S Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread.
S Tire rim bruises and rupture.
S Tire cord breakage.
S High tire temperatures.
Unequal tire pressures on same axle can cause
S Uneven braking.
S Steering lead.
S Reduced handling.
S Swerve on acceleration.
S Torque steer.

8. Remove the damping block connection nut and
bolt.
9. Remove the rear mounting bracket bolts and the
bracket.
10. Push the drive axle shaft from the wheel hub.
Important : Support the unfastened end of the drive axle.
Do not allow the drive axle to dangle freely from the trans-
axle for any length of time after it has been removed from
the wheel hub.
Important : Place a drain pan below the transaxle to catch
the escaping fluid. Cap the transaxle drive opening after
the drive axle has been removed to keep the fluid in and
any contamination out.
11. Remove the drive axle from the transaxle using the
axle shaft remover DW340–110.
Installation Procedure
Notice : Do not damage the seals.
1. Clean the hub seal and the transaxle seal.
2. Install the drive axle into the transaxle.
3. Install the wheel hub onto the axle shaft.
4. Install the rear mounting bracket bolts and the bra-
ket.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
FRONT DRIVE AXLE
General Description
Drive axles are flexible shaft assemblies that transmit
rotational force from the transaxle to the front–wheel as-
semblies. Each axle assembly consists of an inner and anouter constant–velocity joint connected to an axle shaft.
The inner joint is completely flexible and has the ability to
move in and out. The outer joint is also flexible, but it can-
not move in and out.
The drive axles use one type of outboard joint and one type
of inboard joint. The inboard ends of both drive axles incor-
porate a female spline that installs over a stub shaft pro-
truding from the transaxle.
