INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
"AADISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

1. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad
installation, measure the rotary-sliding resistance of the
hub by the following procedure with the pads removed.
(1) Withdraw the drive shaft. (Refer to GROUP 26, 27.)
(2) Attach the special tool to the front hub assembly as
shown in the illustration, and tighten it to the specified
torque.
Tightening torque:
245±29 N·m , 225±25 N·m
(3) Use a spring balance to measure the rotary-sliding
resistance of the hub in the forward direction.
2. Install the caliper support to the knuckle, and then
assemble the pad and the clip to the caliper support.
Caution
Do not contaminate the friction surfaces of the pads
and brake discs by any oil or grease.
3. Clean the piston and insert it into the cylinder with the
special tool.
4. Be careful that the piston boot does not become caught,
when lowering the caliper assembly and install the guide
pin to the caliper.
5. Start the engine, and then depress the brake pedal two
or three times strongly. Then stop the engine.
6. Turn the brake disc forward 10 times.
7. Use a spring balance to measure the rotary-sliding
resistance of the hub in the forward direction.
8. Calculate the drag force of the disc brake [difference
between the values measured at steps 1 and 7].
Standard value:
51 N or less , 69 N or less
9. If that drag force exceeds the standard value, disassemble
the piston assembly. Then check the piston for
contamination or rust, and confirm if the piston or the
piston seal is deteriorated, and if the slide pins slide
smoothly.

1. Find the drag force of the disc brake. (Refer to P.35A-13.)
Standard value: 69 N or less
2. If that drag force exceeds the standard value, disassemble
the piston assembly. Then check the piston for
contamination or rust, and confirm if the piston or the
piston seal is deteriorated.MB990998

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECK
1. With engine running (hydraulic operation), set front wheels
straight ahead.
2. Measure the play on steering wheel circumference before
wheels start to move when slightly moving steering wheel
in both directions.
Limit: 30 mm or less
3. When play exceeds the limit, check for play on steering
shaft connection and steering linkage. Correct or replace.
4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value, set steering
wheel straight ahead with engine stopped. Load 5 N
towards steering wheel circumference and check play.
Standard value: 0 - 10 mm
5. If the play exceeds the standard value, remove steering
gear box and check total pinion torque. (Refer to
P.37A-17.)
STEERING ANGLE CHECK
1. Locate front wheels on turning radius gauge and measure
steering angle.
Standard value:
Inner wheel31_45’±1_30’
Outer wheel27_15’
2. When the angle is not within the standard value, the
toe-in is probably incorrect. Adjust the toe-in.
Standard value: 0±2mm
Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and lock nut, and
turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same
amount (in opposite directions).
3. Recheck the steering angle.
TIE ROD END BALL JOINT TURNING TORQUE
CHECK
1. Disconnect tie rod and knuckle with special tool.
Caution
(1) Loosen the nut of the special tool, but do not
remove it. If it is removed, the ball joint thread
may be damaged.
(2) Tie the special tool with a cord so as not to fall
off.

2. Move ball joint stud several times and install nut on stud.
Measure ball joint turning torque with special tool.
Standard value: 1.0 - 3.0 N·m
3. When the turning torque exceeds the standard value,
replace tie rod end.
4. When the turning torque is under the standard value,
check ball joint for end play or ratcheting. If none of these,
the joint is still serviceable.
STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECK
1. With the vehicle stopped on a flat, paved surface, turn
the steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
2. Start the engine and set it to 1,000±100 r/min.
3. Attach a spring balance to the outer circumference of
the steering wheel and measure the steering force
required to turn the steering wheel from the straight ahead
position to the left and right (within a range of 0.9 turns).
Also check to be sure that there is no significant fluctuation
of the required steering force.
Standard value:
Steering effort32 N or less
Fluctuation allowance6.0 N or less
4. If the standard values are not met, check and adjust
the related parts.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO
CENTRE
To make this test, conduct a road test and check as follows.
1. Make both gradual and sudden turns and check the
steering “feeling” to be sure that there is not difference
in the steering force required and the wheel return between
left and right turns.
2. At a speed of 35 km/h, turn the steering wheel 90_and
release the steering wheel after 1 or 2 seconds. If the
steering wheel then returns 70_or more, the return can
be judged to be satisfactory.
NOTE
There will be a momentary feeling or “heaviness” when
the wheel is turned quickly, but this is not abnormal. (This
is because the oil pump discharge amount is especially
apt to be insufficient during idling.)
DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK
Refer to GROUP 11A - On-vehicle Service.

9. If the level changes more than 5 mm, the air is badly
bled. So, bleed air again.
Caution
(1) If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine
is stopped, the bleeding is incomplete.
(2) Incomplete bleeding causes abnormal noises
from the pump and the flow-control valve. This
could lessen the life of the pump and the other
parts.
OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and
then connect the special tools.
2. Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several
times while the vehicle is not moving so that the
temperature of the fluid rises to approximately 50 - 60_C.
3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000±100 r/min.
4. Fully close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge and
measure the oil pump relief pressure to confirm that it
is within the standard value range.
Standard value: 8.4 - 9.0 MPa
5. If the standard value is not met, the oil pump is defective.
So, replace the oil pump. Then, measure oil pressure
again.
6. With the pressure gauge shut - off valve fully open, check
the hydraulic pressure in unladen condition.
Standard value: 0.2 - 0.8 MPa
7. If the standard value is not met, the oil line or steering
gear is probably defective. So, repair and measure oil
pressure again.
8. Turn the steering wheel fully either left or right and check
the retention hydraulic pressure.
Standard value: 8.4 - 9.0 MPa
9. If the pressure is below the standard value, disassemble
and reassemble the steering gear. If above, replace the
oil pump. Then, measure oil pressure again.
10. Remove the special tools, and tighten the pressure hose
to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 18±3 N·m
11. Bleed the system.
