1) Adjusting preload for front and rear bearings
Adjust the bearing preload between front and rear
bearings with collar and washer. Pinion height ad-
justing washer is not affected by this adjustment.
The adjustment must not be carried out with oil seal
inserted.
(1) Install the rear bearing race into the differen-
tial carrier using ST1 and ST2.

(3) Insert the front bearing cone.
NOTE:
Use new front bearing cone.
(4) Measure and record the thickness of pinion
adjust washer.
NOTE:
If tooth contact (drive pinion, hypoid driven gear) is
normal in the inspection before disassembling, ver-
ify that the washer is not deformed, and then re-use
the used washer.
(5) Insert the ST1 into carrier with the pinion
height adjusting washer and rear bearing cone
fitted onto it.
NOTE:
Use new rear bearing cone.
(6) Install the preload adjusting collar & washer,
front bearing cone, collar, companion flange,
and washer & self-locking nut.

(7) Turn ST1 by hand to seat the bearing, and
measure the initial load and initial torque with a
spring scale while tightening the selflocking nut.
Select the preload adjusting washer and collar
so that the specified preload is obtained when
nut is tightened to the specified torque.
NOTE:
•Use a new self-locking nut.
•Be careful not to give excessive preload.
•When tightening the self-locking nut, lock com-
panion flange with ST2 as shown in the figure.
•Measure the preload in direction of tangent to the
flange.

18) Recheck the hypoid driven gear to pinion back-
lash.
Backlash:
0.10 — 0.15 mm (0.0039 — 0.0059 in)
19) Checking and adjusting the tooth contact of hy-
poid driven gear
(1) Apply an even coat of red lead on both sides
of three or four teeth on the hypoid driven gear.
Check the contact pattern after rotating the hy-
poid driven gear several revolutions back and
forth until a definite contact pattern appears on
the hypoid driven gear.
(2) When the contact pattern is not correct, re-
adjust.
NOTE:
Be sure to wipe off the red lead completely after the
adjustment is completed.
•Correct tooth contact
Check item: Tooth contact pattern is slightly
shifted towards the toe side under no-load rota-
tion. (When driving it will move toward the heel
side.)
•Face contact
Check item: Backlash is too large.
Contact pattern
Corrective action: Increase thickness of drive pin-
ion height adjusting washer in order to bring drive
pinion close to hypoid driven gear.

•INSPECTION
1) Place the front wheel on the turning radius
gauge. Make sure the ground contact surfaces of
front and rear wheels are at the same height.
2) Set the adapter at the center of wheel, and then
attach the wheel alignment gauge.
3) Measure the camber angle in accordance with
the operation manual for wheel alignment gauge.
•FRONT CAMBER ADJUSTMENT
1) When adjusting the camber, adjust it to the fol-
lowing value.
2) Loosen the two self–locking nuts located at the
lower front section of the strut.
NOTE:
When the adjusting bolt needs to be loosened or
tightened, hold its head with a wrench and turn the
self–locking nut.
3) Turn the camber adjusting bolt so that the cam-
ber is set at specification.
NOTE:
Moving the adjusting bolt by one scale changes the
camber by approximately 0°15′.

4. STEERING ANGLE
•INSPECTION
•ADJUSTMENT
1) Turn the tie-rod to adjust the steering angle of
both inner and outer wheels.
2) Check the toe–in.
NOTE:
Correct the boot if it is twisted.
5. FRONT WHEEL TOE–IN
•INSPECTION
Toe-in:
0±3 mm (0±0.12 in)
1) Set the toe-in gauge in the position at wheel axis
center height behind the right and left front tires.
2) Place a mark at the center of both left and right
tires, and measure distance “A” between the
marks.
3) Move the vehicle forward to rotate the tires 180°.
NOTE:
Be sure to rotate the tires in the forward direction.
4) Measure distance “B” between the left and right
marks. Find toe–in using the following equation:
A – B = Toe–in
•ADJUSTMENT
When adjusting the toe-in, adjust it to the following
value.
Toe-in:
0±2 mm (0±0.08 in)
1) Check that the left and right wheel steering an-
gles are within specification.
2) Loosen the left and right side steering tie–rod
lock nuts.
3) Turn the left and right tie–rods by equal amounts
until the toe–in is at the specification.
Both the left and right tie–rods are right–hand
threaded. To increase toe–in, turn both tie–rods
clockwise by equal amount (viewing from the inside
of vehicle).
4) Tighten the tie–rod lock nut.
Tightening torque:

4) Calculation formula:
When clearances are 0.05 mm (0.0020 in):
T (mm) = A – B + 0.23
[T (in) = A – B + 0.009]
When clearances are 0.25 mm (0.0098 in):
T (mm) = A – B +0.03
[T (in) = A – B +0.001]
A: Depth from end of extension case to ball bearing
outer ring contact surface
B: Height from end of AT main case contact surface
to the ball bearing outer ring contact surface

1) Install the drive plate and driven plate to the cen-
ter differential carrier.
2) Measure the depth “A” from the mating surface
of the extension case to the multi-plate clutch

AT main case mating surface to end of ST, and
then subtract the thickness of ST (piston guide) (50
mm (1.97 in)) from measured value.
