GENERAL INFORMATION
M1261000100347
The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles, wheel
bearings and driveshafts, and has the following
features:
•The wheel bearing is a double-row angular
contact ball bearing which incorporates the oil
seals and is highly resistant to thrust loads.
•The driveshaft incorporates BJ-TJ type constant
velocity joints with high transmission efficiency for
low vibration and noise.•The dynamic damper has been mounted on the
driveshaft to reduce differential gear noise.
•ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speed is
press-fitted to the BJ.
NOTE: .
•TJ: Tripod Joint
•BJ: Birfield Joint

WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECKM1261000900224
1. Remove the caliper assembly and suspend it with
a wire.
2. Remove the brake disc from the front hub.
3. Attach a dial gauge as shown in the illustration,
and then measure the axial play while moving the
hub in the axial direction.
Limit: 0.05 mm
4. If axial play exceeds the limit, disassemble the
front hub assembly and check the parts.
5. Install the brake disc, caliper assembly and
tighten the caliper assembly mounting bolts to the
specified torque 100 ± 10 N⋅m.
HUB BOLT REPLACEMENTM1261001000291
1. Remove the caliper assembly and suspend it with
wire so that it does not fall.
2. Remove the brake disc.3. Use special tool hub bolt remover (MB991618) to
remove the hub bolts.
4. Install the plain washer to the new hub bolt, and
install the bolt with a nut while holding the hub
with special tool end yoke holder (MB990767).
5. Install the brake disc, caliper assembly and
tighten the caliper assembly mounting bolts to the
specified torque 100 ± 10 N⋅m.
