 PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001

Cautions EDS0012H

Observe the following precautions when disassembling and servicing drive shaft.
● The joint of drive shaft cannot be disassembled. Do not attempt to disassemble it.
● Perform work in a location which is as dust-free and dirt-free as possible.
● Before disassembling and servicing, clean the outside of parts.
● The disassembly and service location must be clean. Care must be taken to prevent parts from becoming
dirty and to prevent the entry of foreign objects.
● Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean
cover must be placed over parts.
● Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adher-
ing to parts.
● Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by
blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.
Precautions for Brake System EDS0012I

● When installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out

under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand
tools and mats in designated positions.
● Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake tubes.
● After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel align-
ment and adjust if necessary.
● Always torque brake lines when installing.

FRONT WHEEL HUB AND KNUCKLE PFP:40202

On-Vehicle Inspection EDS0012L

Inspect to check that there is no excessive play, cracking, wear, or

other damage to front axle.
● Turn front wheels (left/right) and check the play.
● Check that no nails or other foreign objects are embedded.
● Retighten all axle nuts and bolts to the specified torque.

FRONT WHEEL BEARING

With the vehicle raised, inspect the following:
● Move wheel hub in the axial direction by hand. Check if there is no looseness of front wheel bearings.
Axial end play : 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
● Rotate wheel hub and Make sure there is no unusual noise or other non-standard condition. If there are
any non-standard conditions, replace the wheel bearing.
