Front Drive Shaft Assembly Installation

Install a new hole snap ring.

Coat the splines of the inboard joint with differential oil.

Align the splines and tap in the drive shaft with a brass bar and hammer.

HINT:

Whether or not the inboard joint shaft is in contact with the pinion shaft can be determined from the sound and feeling when tapping in the shaft.

NOTICE:

1. Make sure that the snap ring opening is facing downwards when installing the drive shaft.
   
2. Be careful not to damage the oil seal, boot or dust cover.
   

Install the speed sensor with the bolt.

Torque:

8.5 N*m{87 kgf*cm, 75 in.*lbf}

Connect the 2 clamps.

Install the speed sensor wire harness to the steering knuckle with the bolt.

Torque:

32 N*m{326 kgf*cm, 24 ft.*lbf}

Connect the suspension arm with the 2 bolts.

Torque:

160 N*m{1632 kgf*cm, 118 ft.*lbf}

Connect the tie rod end to the steering knuckle arm with the nut.

Torque:

91 N*m{928 kgf*cm, 67 ft.*lbf}

Install a new cotter pin.

NOTICE:

If the holes for the cotter pin are not aligned, tighten the nut an additional 60°.

Clean the threaded parts on the drive shaft and axle shaft nut using a non-residue solvent.

Install the shaft nut.

Torque:

235 N*m{2396 kgf*cm, 173 ft.*lbf}

Install the adjusting cap and a new cotter pin.

NOTICE:

If the holes for the cotter pin are not aligned, tighten the nut an additional 60°.

Install a new grease cap to the axle hub.

Add differential oil so that the oil level is within 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

NOTICE:

1. After changing the oil, drive the vehicle, and then check the oil level again.
   
2. Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.
