FRONT AXLE -General Information26-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles,
wheel bearings and drive shafts, and it has the
following features.
DThe wheel beearing is unit bearing integrated
with hub (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

WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECK
1. Remove the disc brake caliper and suspend it with a
wire.
2. Remove the brake disc from the front hub.
3. Attach a dial gauge as shown in the illustration, and then
measure the axial play while moving the hub in the axial
direction.
Limit: 0.06 mm
4. If axial play exceeds the limit, replace the front hub
assembly.
HUB BOLT REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the caliper assembly and secure it with wire
so that it does not fall.
2. Remove the brake disc.
3. Use the special tools to remove the hub bolts.
4. Install the plain washer to the new hub bolt, and install
the bolt with a nut.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
AA"CALIPER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Secure the removed caliper assembly with wire, etc.
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"CASTLE NUT REMOVAL
Caution
Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing
while loosening the castle nut. Otherwise wheel bearing
will be damaged.
AC"TIE ROD END DISCONNECTION
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.
AD"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
