1. Press the dust cover with your finger to check whether the dust cover is
cracked or damaged.
2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace the tie rod end. STEERING COLUMN SHAFT ASSEMBLY SHOCK ABSORBING MECHANISM CHECK
If a collision occurs or severe impact is applied to the steering wheel, the
collision energy absorbing mechanism (one-way capsule) may have operated.
Once the mechanism has operated, it will be inoperative even if there is no
apparent damage. Determine if the steering column shaft can be reused by the
following procedure. If the collision energy absorbing mechanism has already
operated, replace the steering column shaft assembly. If any excessive radial free play on the steering wheel is found with the tilt
lever in the lock position, always check the steering shaft assembly.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1. Remove the lower and upper column covers.
2. Place the tilt lever in the locked
position.
NOTE: If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, the ball joint
could be damaged.
WARNING:
1. If the vehicle continues to be driven after the
collision absorbing mechanism has operated,
the steering column shaft may be damaged
while driving.
2. If there is a slack in the one-way capsule, do not
attempt to repair it. Replace the steering column
shaft assembly.
CAUTION: On completion, do not release the tilt lever until
the steering column has been installed.

Rear Axle < AWD > - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The rear axle has the following features.
The wheel bearing incorporates a unit ball bearing (double-row angular contact
ball bearing) for reduced friction. The rear wheel hub assembly combines the hub, wheel bearing, housing, and
oil seal in a single unit for fewer parts, better durability, improved assembly
precision, and better structural organization. The drive shaft has BJ-DOJ constant velocity joints. ABS rotor for wheel speed detection is press-fitted onto the drive shaft in
vehicles with ABS.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Low-mount multilink independent suspension offers handling stability and riding
comfort comparable to passenger cars. Crossmembers with an elastic structure are
used to reduce road noise, making the vehicle quieter.
The arrangement of the arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers is designed to
provide a wide luggage space.
The differential case is mounted on the crossmember in AWD models to reduce the
weight under the springs and improve the suspension tracking of the road surface. CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM Fig. 1: Rear Suspension Construction Diagram (FWD)
