1. Install both axles into the differential, and place the
axles on V-blocks (A).
2. Measure the backlash of the pinion gears (B) using a dial indicator (C).
3. If the backlash is out of standard, replace the differential carrier. NOTE: Inspect and adjust the carrier bearing preload
(see page 14-361) whenever the differential carrier is
replaced.
1. Remove the final driven gear (A) from the differential carrier (B).
NOTE: The final driven gear bolts have left-hand
threads.
2. Install the final driven gear on the differential carrier in the direction shown. Tighten the bolts to
103 N·m (10.5 kgf·m, 75.9 lbf·ft) in a crisscross
pattern in at least two steps.

replace the inboard joint or the outboard joint as an
assembly.
4. Hold the inboard joint and turn the front wheel by hand, then make sure the joint is not excessively
loose. If necessary, replace the inboard joint or the
outboard joint as an assembly. 1. Raise the vehicle on a lift.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Pry up the locking tab (A) on the spindle nut (B),
then remove the nut.
4. Drain the transmission fluid, then reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer:
 5-speed manual transmission (see page 13-5)
 6-speed manual transmission (see page 13-82)
 Automatic transmission (see page 14-232)

5. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the
differential thoroughly with solvent or brake
cleaner, and dry with compressed air.
NOTE: Do not wash the rubber parts with solvent.
6. Insert the inboard end (A) of the driveshaft into the differential (B) or the intermediate shaft (C) until the
set ring (D) locks in the groove (E).
NOTE: Insert the driveshaft horizontally to prevent
damaging the oil seal. 7. Install the outboard joint (A) into the front hub (B).
8. Connect the knuckle (A) onto the lower arm (B).
During installation, install a new flange bolt and
new self-locking nuts. After lightly tightening all
