REMOVAL
1. Move the A/T select lever to the N position and release the parking brake.
2. Put matching marks on the rear propeller shaft flange yoke and
the companion flange of the rear final drive as shown.
CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Never damage the rear pro-
peller shaft flange yoke or the companion flange.
3. Remove the bolts, then remove the propeller shaft from the rear
final drive and A/T.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Inspect the propeller shaft run out. If run out exceeds the limit,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.

While holding the flange yoke on one side, check axial play of
the joint as shown. If the journal axial play exceeds the specifi-
cation, replace the propeller shaft assembly.

Check the propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damage is
detected, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

After installation, check for vibration by driving the vehicle. Refer to PR-3, "NVH Troubleshooting Chart" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the bolts and nuts. Always install new ones.

CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check if the mounting nuts for steering gear assembly are loose.
Refer to PS-15, "
POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and measure
steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point where
tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL

Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to
FSU-6, "
Front Wheel Alignment" .
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositioning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust tie-rods by the same amount in the
opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to operating temperature of 60° – 80°C (140° – 176°F).
4. Tires need to be inflated to specified pressure. Refer to WT-34, "
Tire" .
5. Check steering wheel turning force using Tool when steering
wheel has been turned 360° from the neutral position.
6. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, inspect the
following:

Steering column. Refer to PS-11, "INSPECTION AFTER
REMOVAL" .

Power steering oil pump. Refer to PS-26, "CHECKING
RELIEF OIL PRESSURE" .
7. If steering column and power steering oil pump meet specifications, replace steering gear. Refer to PS-15,
"Removal and Installation" . End play of the axial direction for steering wheel : 0 mm (0 in)

Do not crimp or stretch the brake hose when repositioning the brake caliper out of the way.

Do not press brake pedal while the brake caliper is removed.
7. Remove the spare tire.
8. Disconnect the two rear ABS sensor electrical connectors.
9. Remove the two rear drive shafts. Refer to RAX-7, "
Removal and Installation" .
10. Remove the rear final drive. Refer to RFD-10, "
REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY" .
11. Remove the EVAP canister bolt from the top of the rear suspension member.
12. Disconnect the parking brake cables from the brackets on the rear suspension member.
13. Set a suitable jack to support each of the rear lower links and the
coil spring tension.
14. Remove both of the rear lower link outer bolts and lower the jack to remove the rear coil springs.
15. Remove the two bolts to disconnect the seat belt latch anchor
from the rear suspension member.
16. Disconnect both of the connecting rods from the rear stabilizer
bar.
17. Set a suitable jack under the rear suspension member.
18. Remove the six rear suspension member bolts.
19. Slowly lower the jack to remove the rear suspension member,
suspension arm, front and rear lower links and stabilizer bar as
an assembly.
20. If necessary, remove the suspension arm, spare tire bracket,
height sensor, rear load leveling air suspension hoses, stabilizer
bar, knuckle, and front and rear lower links from the rear suspension member.

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE CHECK
Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
NOTE:
All seat belt retractors are of the Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden stop)
the retractor will lock and prevent the belt from extending any further. All 3-point type seat belt retractors
except the driver's seat belt also have an Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode. The ALR mode (also
called child restraint mode) is used when installing child seats. The ALR mode is activated when the seat belt
is fully extended. When the belt is then retracted partially, the ALR mode automatically locks the seat belt in a
specific position so the belt cannot be extended any further. To cancel the ALR mode, allow the seat belt to
fully wind back into the retractor.
Check the seat belt retractors using the following test(s) to determine if a seat belt retractor and belt assembly
is operating properly.
ELR Function Stationary Check
Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and prevent the belt from extending
further.
ALR Function Stationary Check
1. Pull out entire length of seat belt from retractor until a click is heard.
2. Retract the belt partially. A clicking noise should be heard as the belt retracts indicating that the retractor is
in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode.
3. Grasp the seat belt and try to pull out the retractor. The belt must lock and not extend any further. If neces-
sary replace the seat belt retractor and belt assembly.
4. Allow the entire length of the belt to retract to cancel the automatic locking mode.
ELR Function Moving Check
WA RN ING:
Perform the following test in a safe, open area clear of other vehicles and obstructions (for example, a
large, empty parking lot). Road surface must be paved and dry. DO NOT perform the following test on
wet or gravel roads or on public streets and highways. This could result in an accident and serious
personal injury. The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the
retractor does not lock.
1. Fasten drivers seat belt. Buckle a passenger into the seat for the belt that is to be tested.
2. Proceed to the designated safe area.
3. Drive the vehicle at approximately 16 km/h (10 MPH). Notify any passengers of a pending sudden stop.
The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the retractor does not lock.
Apply brakes firmly and make a very hard stop.
During stop, seat belts should lock and not be extended. If the seat belt retractor and belt assembly does not
lock, perform the retractor off-vehicle check.
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR OFF-VEHICLE CHECK
1. Remove the seat belt retractor and belt assembly.
2. Slowly pull out belt while tilting the retractor assembly forward from the mounted position without twisting
the retractor assembly as shown in the illustration.
