Rear Axle and Coil Spring InspectionS6RW0D2306009
• Inspect for cracks, deformation or damage.
• Inspect bushing for damage, wear or breakage.
Replace any defective part.

Inspect for cracks, deformation or damage. If necessary,
replace rear axle assembly.
Rear Wheel Disc, Bolt and Bearing InspectionS6RW0D2306011
• Check tightness of wheel nuts and, if necessary,
retighten to specified torque.
• Check wheel disc deformation, damage, crack and
etc.
Replace defective disc with new one.
• Check installation face inside of wheel disc for rust.
As rust affects adversely, remove it thoroughly.
Tightening torque
Wheel nut: 85 N·m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
• Check wear of wheel bearings. When measuring
thrust play, apply a dial gauge to axle shaft center.
When the thrust play exceeds limit, replace bearing.
Rear wheel bearing thrust play
Limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
• Check noise and smooth rotation of wheel by rotating
wheel. If it is defective, replace bearing.

Tooth Contact Pattern Diagnosis and Remedy
Normal
High Contact
Pinion is positioned too far from the center of drive
bevel gear (1).
• Increase thickness of pinion (2) height adjusting
shim and position pinion closer to gear center.
• Adjust drive bevel gear backlash to specification.
Low Contact
Pinion is positioned too close to the center of drive
bevel gear (1).
• Decrease thickness of pinion (2) height adjusting
shim and position pinion farther from gear center.
• Adjust drive bevel gear backlash to specification.
If adjustment is impossible, replace differential carrier.
• Check seating of bevel gear or differential case. (Check bevel
gear for runout.)
• If adjustment is impossible, replace drive bevel gear and pinion
set or differential carrier.
Replace drive bevel gear and pinion set or differential case.

Reassembly
CAUTION!
• Bevel gear and pinion must be replaced as
a set when either replacement becomes
necessary.
• When replacing taper roller bearing,
replace as inner race and outer race
assembly.

1) To mesh bevel gears correctly, it is prerequired to
install bevel pinion to transfer output retainer
properly by using adjusting shim (bevel pinion shim)
as follows.
a) Install front taper roller bearing (1) to bevel pinion
dummy (special tools).
Special tool
(A): 09922–76140
(B): 09922–76430b) Install bevel pinion dummy (1), rear taper roller

c) Tighten bevel pinion nut (special tool) so that
specified bearing preload is obtained.
NOTE
Before taking measurement, check for
rotation by hand more than 15 revolutions.

Tightening torque
Rotational torque of bevel pinion (Bearing
preload): 0.50 – 1.30 N·m (0.05 – 0.13 kgf-m,
0.35 – 0.95 lb-ft)
d) Measure height “b” in figure by using vernier
caliper.
Calculate “c” by using measured value.e) Obtain adjusting shim thickness by the following
equation.
f) Select a shim closest to the calculated value
(necessary shim thickness) from among the
available shims or combine shims to become
closest to calculated value.
For example:
Measure distance “b” is 69.95 mm (2.754 in.).
“c” = 69.95 mm (2.754 in.) – 40.0 mm (1.757 in.)
= 29.95 mm (1.179 in.)
“f” = 29.95 mm (1.179 in.) + 74.0 mm (2.913 in.)
– 101.95 mm (4.014 in.) = 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
Calculated thickness of new shim = 2.0 mm
(0.079 in.)
Available bevel pinion shim thickness
0.30, 1.85, 1.88, 1.91, 1.94, 1.97, 2.00, 2.03,
