< SERVICE INFORMATION >
STEERING COLUMN
 If vehicle has a collision light shocked, check column length “L” as
shown in the figure. Then if it is out of the specified value, replace
with new one.
 Check the turning torque of steering column with preload gauge (SST). If it is out of the specified value, repair it or replace with new
one.
INSTALLATION
 Refer to "COMPONENTS" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.
 After removing/installing or replacing steering components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-5, "
Wheel
Alignment Inspection".
 After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-8, "
Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position".
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Check tilt and telescopic mechanism operating range “L1”, “L2” as
shown in the figure.
 Check if steering wheel operation can turn to the end of the left and right smoothly.

2. Install back plate and wheel hub and bearing assembly.
3. Install anchor block onto axle.
INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
1. With wheel bearing pressed into axle housing, apply 49,033 N (5,000 kg, 11,000 lb) to wheel hub and rotate both clockwise and counterclockwise 10 times to minimize resistance.
2. Attach spring scale in the position shown in illustration and pull at a rate of 10 ± 2 rpm to measure rotating torque.

5. Tighten to drive pinion lock nut, while adjust total preload torque.
CAUTION:
 Adjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tight-
ening torque first.
 If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace
collapsible spacer and tighte n it again to adjust. Never
loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
6. Make a stamping for identificati on of front oil seal replacement
frequency. Refer to "IDENTIFICATION STAMP OF REPLACE-
MENT FREQUENCY OF FRONT OIL SEAL".
CAUTION:
Be sure to make a stamping after replacing front oil seal.
7. Install propeller shaft. Refer to PR-9, "
Removal and Installation".

a. Attach the protector to side oil seal.
b. After the side flange is inserted and the serrated part of side gear has engaged the serrated part of flange, remove the pro-
tector.
c. Put a suitable drift on the center of side flange, then drive it until sound changes.
NOTE:
When installation is completed, driving sound of the side flange turns into a sound which seems to affect
the whole final drive.
d. Confirm that the dimension of the side flange installation (Mea- surement A) in the figure comes into the following.
9. Install drive shaft. Refer to RAX-10
.
10. Install rear wheel sensor. Refer to BRC-52
.
11. Install center muffler. Refer to EX-3
.
