WARNING:
When hoisting vehicle, be sure to select the lifting point suitable for the service work referring to Sec-
tion 0A.
NOTE:
All suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as speci-
fied during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any suspension part. Replace it with a new part, or
damage to the part may result.

Rear Suspension Fasteners
Check each bolt and nut fastening suspension parts for tightness.
Tighten loose one, if any, to specified torque, referring to “Tighten-
ing Torque Specifications” of this section.
Bearing Retainer and Axle Shaft Oil Seal
Check
When brake drum has been removed, check inside of brake
drum for gear oil leakage.
Also, check backside of brake back plate for oil leakage.If oil
leakage is found, replace defective oil seal.
Whenever it is possible to check oil seal during disassembly,
check its lip for wear.
If oil leakage or worn lip is found, replace defective oil seal.
Bump Stopper and Spring Rubber Seat Check
Inspect for wear and breakage. If found defective, replace.
Wheel Disc, Nut and Bearing Check
Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks. A
disc in badly damaged condition must be replaced.
Check wheel hub nuts for tightness and, as necessary,
retighten to specification.

Check wheel bearings for wear. When measuring thrust
play, apply a dial gauge to axle shaft center after removing
wheel center cap from wheel disc.
When measurement exceeds limit, replace bearing.
Rear wheel bearing thrust play limit
: 0.8 mm (0.03 in.)
By rotating wheel actually, check wheel bearing for noise and
smooth rotation. If it is defective, replace bearing.
