PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal
and M-terminal.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move
out.
4. Check the pinion-to-stopper clearance (pinion
gap) with a feeler gauge.
Standard value: 0.5 − 2.0 mm5. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by
adding or removing gasket(s) between the
magnetic switch and front bracket.
MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal
and M-terminal.
3. If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it
doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FRONT AXLE26-2
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
