Maintenance and Minor Adjustments
Wheel and Tire
Wheel repairs that use welding, heating, or peening are not approved. All damaged wheels should be replaced.
Studs
If a broken stud is found, see Section 3E (rear) or Section 3D (front) for Note and Replacement procedure.
Matched tires and wheels
(For vehicle equipped with steel wheels)
Tires and wheels are matchmounted at the assembly plant.
This means that the radially stiffest part of the tire, or “high spot”,
is matched to the smallest radius or “low spot” of the wheel.
This is done to provide the smoothest possible ride.
The “high spot” of the tire is originally marked by paint dot (1) on
the outboard sidewall. This paint dot will eventually wash off the
tire.
The “low spot” of the wheel is originally marked by paint dot (2) on
the wheel rim-flange. Properly assembled, the wheel rim’s paint
dot should be aligned with the tire’s paint dot as shown in left fig-
ure.
Whenever a tire is dismounted from its wheel, it should be
remounted so that the tire and wheel are matched. If the tire’s
paint dot cannot be located, a line should be scribed on the tire
and wheel before dismounting to assure that it is remounted in
the same position.
Inflation of Tires
The pressure recommended for any model is carefully calculated to give a satisfactory ride, stability, steering,
tread wear, tire life and resistance to bruises.
Tire pressure, with tires cold, (after vehicle has set for three hours or more, or driven less than one mile) should
be checked monthly or before any extended trip. Set to the specifications on the tire placard located on the
driver’s side door lock pillar.
It is normal for tire pressure increase when the tires become hot during driving. Do not bleed or reduce tire pres-
sure after driving. Bleeding reduces the “Cold Inflation Pressure.”
Higher than Recommended Pressure Can Cause:
1) Hard ride
2) Tire bruising or carcass damage
3) Rapid tread wear at center of tire
Unequal Pressure on Same Axle Can Cause:
1) Uneven braking
2) Steering lead
3) Reduced handling
4) Swerve on acceleration
Valve caps should be kept on valves to keep dust and water out.

NOTE:
All propeller shaft 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 propeller shaft part. Replace it with a new part, or
damage to the part may result.

Propeller Shaft Joint Check
If universal joints are suspected of producing chattering or rattling
noise, inspect them for wear. Check to see if cross spider rattles
in yokes or if splines are worn down and replace defective propel-
ler shaft with new one.
Noise coming from universal joint can be easily distinguished
from other noises because rhythm of chattering or rattling is in
step with cruising speed. Noise is pronounced particularly on
standing start or in coasting condition (when braking effect of
engine is showing in the drive line).
1. Propeller shaft No.1
2. Propeller shaft No.2
3. Propeller shaft No.3
Tightening Torque
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Abnormal noise
Loose universal joint bolt.
Spider bearing worn out or stuck.

On-Vehicle Service
Propeller Shafts
REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle.
2) Drain transmission oil only when servicing propeller shaft
No. 1.
3) Before removing propeller shaft (2), give match marks (1) on
each joint flange (3) and propeller shaft (2) as shown.
4) Remove propeller shaft(s).
INSPECTION
Inspect propeller shaft and flange yoke for damage, and propeller
shaft for runout.
If damage is found or shaft runout exceeds its limit, replace.
Propeller shaft runout limit : 0.8 mm (0.031 in.)

INSTALLATION
Install propeller shaft(s) reversing removal procedure noting fol-
lowing points :
When installing propeller shaft, align the match marks.
Otherwise, vibration may occur during driving.
Use following specification to torque universal joint flange.
Tightening torque
Propeller shaft bolt (propeller shaft No.1, No.2 and No.3
rear differential side)
(a) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
Propeller shaft bolt (propeller shaft No.3 transfer case
side)
(b) : 33 N·m (3.3 kg-m, 24 lb-ft)
Grease splines of propeller shaft No. 2 and No. 3.
“A” : Chassis Grease 99000-25030
Match marks (1) are provided on slip-on spline connections
of propeller shaft No. 2 and No. 3. Inserting splined end into
spIined bore without regard to match marks can be a possi-
ble cause of noise or vibration of propeller shaft. Be sure to
index marks. NOTE:
If transmission oil was drained for front propeller shaft
removal, pour specified gear oil into transmission case
to specified level.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:
When inspecting and servicing vehicle equipped with ABS, be sure to refer to section 5E first.
All brake fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital
parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of
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 specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of all parts. There is to be no welding as it may result
in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.

General Description
When the foot brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder to actuate pis-
tons (two in front and four in rear).
The master cylinder is a tandem master cylinder. Three (or two) brake pipes are connected to the master cylin-
der and they make two independent circuits. One connects front brakes (right and left) and the other connects
rear brakes (right and left).
The load sensing proportioning valve (LSPV), the proportioning and bypass (P & B) valve or proportioning (P)
valve is included in these circuits between the master cylinder and the rear brake.
In this brake system, the disc brake type is used for the front wheel brake and a drum brake type (leading/trailing
shoes) for the rear wheel brake.
The parking brake system is mechanical. It applies brake force to only rear wheels by means of the cable and
mechanical linkage system. The same brake shoes are used for both parking and foot brakes.
NOTE:
The figures shows left-hand steering vehicle.
WARNING:
If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system. The
torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
