2004 DRIVE AXLES
Axle Shafts - Front - Endeavor
DESCRIPTION The axle shafts consist Birfield Joint (BJ)-Pillow Tripod Joint (PTJ), Birfield Joint
(BJ)-Double Offset Joint (DOJ), and Birfield Joint (BJ)-Tripod Joint (TJ) Constant
Velocity (CV) joints with solid metal shafts. Due to the use of the inner shaft and
bracket assembly, the right and left drive shafts are approximately the same length.
This reduces noise, vibration, and torque steer. LUBRICATION AWD For lubrication
points, see Fig. 1
or Fig. 2

Tightening torque: 52 +/- 2 N.m (38 +
/-2 f
t-lb)
3. Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering angle is at the standard
value.
STEERING ANGLE
Standard value:
35°6' +/- 2°00' < Inner wheel>
30+/-00' < Outer wheel (reference)>
5. On vehicles with ASC, if the toe-in is adjusted, always carry out steering wheel
sensor calibration (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR
CALIBRATION
article).
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION Required Special Tool:
MB991004: Wheel Alignment Gauge Attachment
Standard value:
Camber: 0° 00' +/- 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
Caster: 3° 00' +/- 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
Kingpin inclination: 12° 50' +/- 1° 30'
NOTE: Caster is preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
CAUTION: Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle load
when the drive shaft nuts are loosened.
NOTE: Attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the drive shaft
