Replacement Tires
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment
type tire should be used. Refer to the Tire Placard.
Replacement tires should be of the same size, load
range and construction as those originally on the vehicle.
Use of any other size or type tire may affect ride,
handling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance and tire or snow chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on
the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire having the most tread, to
equalize braking traction.
WARNING!
Do not mix different types of tires on the
same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-
belted tires except in emergencies, because
handling may be seriously affected and may
result in loss of control.
The metric term for tire inflation pressure is the kilo
pascal (kPa). Tire pressures is usually printed in both
kPa and kgf/cm
2 on the “Tire Placard”.
Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The chart, shown in the table, converts commonly used
inflation pressures from kPa to kgf/cm
2 and psi.
Wheels DescriptionS6RW0D2401002
Wheel Maintenance
Wheel repairs that use welding, heating, or peening are
not approved. All damaged wheels should be replaced.
Replacement Wheels
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have
excessive lateral or radial runout, air leak through welds,
have elongated bolt holes, if lug wheel bolts won’t stay
tight, or if they are heavily rusted. Wheels with greater
runout than shown in the following may cause
objectional vibrations.
Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original
equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim with
offset and mounting configuration. A wheel of improper
size or type may affect wheel and bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance and tire clearance to body and
chassis.How to Measure Wheel Runout
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use an
accurate dial indicator. The tire may be on or off the
wheel. The wheel should be installed to the wheel
balancer of the like for proper measurement.
Take measurements of both lateral runout “a” and radial
runout “b” at both inside and outside of the rim flange.
With the dial indicator set in place securely, turn the
wheel one full revolution slowly and record every reading
of the indicator.
When the measured runout exceeds the specification
and correction by the balancer adjustment is impossible,
replace the wheel. If the reading is affected by welding,
paint or scratch, it should be ignored.
Lateral runout limit “a”
Aluminum wheel: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
Steel wheel: 0.9 mm (0.035 in.)
Radial runout limit “b”
Aluminum wheel: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
Steel wheel: 0.7 mm (0.028 in.)
Metric Lug Nuts and Wheel Studs
All models use metric lug nuts and wheel studs.
Metric lug nuts and wheel studs size
M12 x 1.25
If a broken stud is found, see “Front Wheel Hub, Disc,
Bolt and Bearing Check in Section 2B”, “Front Wheel
Hub, Steering Knuckle and Wheel Bearing Removal and
Installation in Section 2B”, “Rear Wheel Hub Assembly

General Description
Front Drive Shaft ConstructionS6RW0D3111001
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left side drive shaft assemblies. For A/T
vehicle, a tripod type constant velocity joint is used on the differential side and center shaft side. For M/T vehicle, a
double offset type constant velocity joint (DOJ) is used on the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft
can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset joint (DOJ) in the extension/contraction direction.

Transfer
General Description
Transfer DescriptionS6RW0D3301001
The transfer is mounted on transaxle case by fastening bolt with reduction drive gear in transfer and differential case in
transaxle coupled by involute spline. Driving force from transaxle is transmitted to propeller shaft through reduction
drive gear, reduction driven gear and bevel gear of transfer. As bevel gears, which change the direction of driving
torque axis to the direction of the angle with 90 degrees, hypoid gears are provided. Hypoid gears have an advantage
of preventing gear noise, at the same time, they require accurate adjustment of tooth contact and backlash.
