2004 DRIVELINE/AXLES
Front Axle - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles, wheel bearings and drive shafts, and
has the following features:
The wheel bearing incorporates a unit ball bearing (double-row angular contact
ball bearing) for reduced friction. The front 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 driveshaft incorporates BJ-PTJ type constant velocity joints< FWD>, BJ-
DOJ < AWD-LH>and BJ-TJ< AWD-RH> with high transmission efficiency
for low vibration and noise. Due to the use of the inner shaft and bracket assembly, the right and left drive
shafts are approximately the same in length. This reduces noise, vibration and
torque steer.< FWD> ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speeds is press-fitted to the rear hub in
vehicles with ABS.

STARTER MOTOR DOES NOT STOPCheck the magnetic switch. ON-VEHICLE TESTING STARTER MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE 1. Is the battery in good condition? If Yes, go to the next step. If No, then charge
or replace battery.
2. Disconnect the starter motor "S" (solenoid) terminal connector. Using a jumper
wire, apply battery positive voltage to starter motor "S" (solenoid) terminal.
Does starter motor operate normally? If Yes, then check ignition switch,
transmission range switch and the line between the battery and starter motor
"S" (solenoid) terminal. If No, then go to the next step.
3. Check if the cable between starter "B" (battery) terminal and battery positive
terminal for connection and continuity. Is the starter cable in good condition? I
f
Yes, then go to the next step. If No, then repair or replace the cable.
4. Check the connection and continuity of the cable between starter motor body
and the negative battery terminal. Is the ground line in good condition? If Yes,
then go to the next step. If No, then repair or replace cable.
5. Is the starter motor in good condition? If Yes, problem is excessive rotational
resistance of the engine. If No, then replace the starter motor.
BENCH TESTING MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST 1. Disconnect field coil wire from "M" terminal of the magnetic switch. See Fig.
3 . WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
CAUTION: To prevent coil from burning, DO NOT apply voltage
to starter assembly for more than 10 seconds.
