Noise (drive shaft)ReferenceII. On-board Inspection1. Check front wheel hub bearing
(1) Remove front wheel.
(2) Remove front brake caliper assembly.
(3) Remove front brake disc.
(4) Check the bearing backlash.
Set a dial indicator near the front wheel hub center to check
the backlash.
Maximum: 0.05mm
If the backlash exceeds the maximum value, replace the front
wheel hub bearing.
(5) Check the front wheel hub deviation
Using a dial indicator, check the deviation of the surface of the
wheel hub outside the hub bolt.
Maximum: 0.07mm
If the backlash exceeds the maximum value, replace the front
wheel hub subassembly.Propeller Shaft/DriveshaftPropeller Shaft, Driveshaft and Transaxle4-17 -

Notice:

Do not damage the boot.

With ABS:
Be careful not to damage the vehicle speed sensor rotor.
13. Remove left constant velocity drive shaft assembly
Using a differential side gear shaft remover, remove the left
constant velocity drive shaft assembly.
Notice:

Do not damage the boot and oil seal.
Be careful not to drop the drive shaft assembly.
14. Remove right constant velocity drive shaft assembly
Using a brass bar and a hammer, remove the right constant
velocity drive shaft assembly.
Notice:
Do not damage the boot and oil seal.
Be careful not to drop the drive shaft assembly. -

15. Install LF steering knuckle assembly
Notice:
The hub bearing could be damaged if it is subjected to the vehicle
weight, such as when moving the vehicle with the drive shaft
bearing removed.
Therefore if it is absolutely necessary to place the vehicle weight
on the hub bearing, first support it with the special service tool for
front hub bearing.
16. Check left constant velocity drive shaft assembly
(1) Check the outboard joint for apparent looseness.
(2) Check that the inboard joint slide smoothly.
(3) Check the inboard joint for radial looseness.
(4) Check the boot for damage.
Notice:
Place the drive shaft assembly on level surface during the
inspection.
17. Remove inboard joint big clamp
Using a screw driver, loosen the inboard joint big clamp.
18. Remove inboard joint small clamp
Using a screw driver, loosen the inboard joint small clamp.
19. Separate inboard joint boot
Separate the outboard joint boot from the outboard Rzeppa joint
assembly.
20. Remove left tripod joint assembly
(1) Wipe off the old grease from the tripod joint assembly.
(2) Place the matchmarks between the tripod joint assembly and
the outboard Rzeppa joint.
Notice:
Do not punch the matchmarks.Propeller Shaft/DriveshaftFront Driveshaft4-23Mark -
