Component".
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Wheel Hub and Knuckle Inspection
Check for any deformity, cracks, or other damage on the wheel hub assembly and knuckle, replace if neces-
sary.
CAUTION:
The wheel hub assembly does not require maintenance. If any of the following symptoms are noted,
replace the wheel hub assembly.
• Growling noise is emitted from the wheel hub bearing during operation.
• Wheel hub bearing drags or turns roughly.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check boots of transverse link and steering outer socket ball joint for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to
FSU-15, "
Removal and Installation" transverse link and PS-15, "Disassembly and Assembly" steering outer
socket ball joint.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
• Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing assembly and steering knuckl e. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "
Wheel
Alignment Inspection".
• When installing disc rotor on wheel hub and bearing assembly,
align the marks.
(When not using the alignment mark, refer to BR-31, "
Disassembly
and Assembly of Brake Caliper Assembly").

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
7. Pry off drive shaft from transaxle assembly side as shown.• Make sure that circlip is attached on the edge.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply an excessive angle to drive shaft joint when
removing from the transaxle.
• Do not excessively extend slide joint.
• Do not allow drive shaft to hang down. Support the entire
drive shaft.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Move joint up/down, left/right, and in axial direction. Check for any rough movement or significant looseness.
• Check boot for cracks or other damage, and for grease leakage.
• If damaged, disassemble drive shaft to verify damage, and repair or replace as necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
• Tighten to specifications.CAUTION:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
• In order to prevent damage to differential side oil seal, place Tool
onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft as shown. Slide drive shaft
into slide joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
• Install new circlip on drive shaft in the circlip groove on transaxle side. Refer to FAX-13, "
