Caution
1. Loosen the nut only; do not remove it from the ball
joint. Otherwise ball joint thread will be damaged.
2. The special tool should be suspended by a cord to
prevent it from coming off.
AB"DRIVE SHAFT REMOVAL
1. Use the special tools to push out the drive shaft from
the hub.
2. Withdraw the drive shaft from the hub by pulling the bottom
of the brake disc towards you, and then remove the hub
retaining bolts.
3. Remove the drive shaft from the transmission by the
following procedure.
Insert a pry bar between the transmission case and the
drive shaft, and then pry the drive shaft from the
transmission.
Caution
(1) Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will damage
the T.J.; be sure to use the pry bar.
(2) When pulling the drive shaft out from the
transmission, be careful that the spline part of
the drive shaft does not damage the oil seal.
(3) Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel
bearing while loosening the drive shaft nut.
Otherwise wheel bearing will be damaged. If,
however, the vehicle weight must be applied to
the bearing (because of moving the vehicle),
temporarily secure the wheel bearing by using
the special tool.

REAR AXLE -General Information27B-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The rear axle consists of rear hubs, wheel bearings,
drive shafts, and rear differential and, it has the
following features.
DThe wheel bearing is a unit bearing (double-row
angular contact ball bearing).
DThe drive shaft incorporates B.J.-T.J. type
constant velocity joints with high transmission
efficiency and low vibration and noise.DABS rotors for detecting the wheel speeds are
press-fitted to the B.J. outer wheels in vehicles
with ABS or ACD.
NOTE
1. B.J.: Birfield Joint
2. T.J.: Tripod Joint

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
REAR AXLE TOTAL BACKLASH CHECK
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface.
2. Move the transmission control lever to the neutral position.
Apply the parking brake. Raise the vehicle on a jack.
3. Turn the companion flange clockwise as far as it will go.
Make the mating mark on the dust cover of the companion
flange and on the differential carrier.
4. Turn the companion flange anti-clockwise as far as it
will go, and measure the amount of distance the mating
marks moved.
Limit: 6 mm
5. If the backlash exceeds the limit value, replace the
differential carrier assembly.
GEAR OIL LEVEL CHECK
1. Remove the filler plug.
2. Check that the gear oil level is within the specified range
from the bottom end of the filler plug hole.
3. If the gear oil level exceeds the standard value, add the
specified gear oil up to the bottom end of the filler plug
hole.
Specified gear oil:
Hypoid gear oil
MITSUBISHI Genuine Gear Oil Part No. 8149630
EX, CASTROL HYPOY LS (GL-5, SAE 90),
SHELL-LSD (GL-5, SAE 80W - 90) or equivalent

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
AA"REAR BRAKE CALIPER REMOVAL
Suspend the rear brake caliper from the body with wire, etc.
to prevent it from falling.
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped with the Brembo disc brake, during
maintenance, take care not to contact the parts or tools to
the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched.
And if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe out quickly.
AB"DRIVE SHAFT NUT REMOVAL
Caution
Do not apply pressure to wheel bearing by the vehicle
weight to avoid possible damage to wheel bearing before
tightening drive shaft nut fully.
AC"REAR DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. Use the special tools to push out the drive shaft from
the hub.
2. Remove the drive shaft from the transmission by the
following procedure.
Insert a pry bar between the differential carrier and the
drive shaft, and then pry the drive shaft from the differential
carrier.
Caution
(1) Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will damage
the T.J.; be sure to use the pry bar.
(2) When pulling the drive shaft out from the
differential carrier, be careful that the spline part
of the drive shaft does not damage the oil seal.
(3) Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel
bearing while loosening the drive shaft nut.
Otherwise wheel bearing will be damaged. If,
however, the vehicle weight must be applied to
the bearing (because of moving the vehicle),
temporarily secure the wheel bearing by using
the special tool.
