Valve Body Repair
B A
6. Remove the cooler check valve spring (L) and thecooler check valve (M), then remove the main valve
body (N) (three bolts). Do not let the check balls (O)
fall out.
7. Remove the ATF pump driven gear shaft (P), then remove the ATF pump gears (Q).
8. Remove the main separator plate (R) and the two dowel pins (S).
9. Remove the ATF magnet (T), clean and reinstall it in the torque converter housing (U).
10. Clean the inlet opening (A) of the ATF strainer (B) thoroughly with compressed air, then check that it
is in good condition and that the inlet opening is
not clogged.
11. Test the ATF strainer by pouring clean ATF through the inlet opening, and replace it if it is clogged or
damaged.
12. Remove the O-rings (V) (W) from the stator shaft and the ATF strainer. Install the new ones when
installing the valve bodies. NOTE: This repair is only necessary if one or more of
the valves in a valve body do not slide smoothly in their
bores. Use this procedure to free the valves.
1. Soak a sheet of 600 abrasive paper in ATF for about 30 minutes.
2. Carefully tap the valve body so the sticking valve drops out of its bore. It may be necessary to use a
small screwdriver to pry the valve free. Be careful
not to scratch the bore with the screwdriver.
3. Inspect the valve for any scuff marks. Use the ATF- soaked 600 paper to polish off any burrs that are
on the valve, then wash the valve in solvent and
dry it with compressed air.
4. Roll up half a sheet of ATF-soaked 600 paper and insert it in the valve bore of the sticking valve.
Twist the paper slightly, so that it unrolls and fits
the bore tightly, then polish the bore by twisting the
paper as you push it in and out.
NOTE: The valve body is aluminum and does not
require much polishing to remove any burrs.

5. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the
differential thoroughly with solvent or brake
cleaner, and dry with compressed air.
NOTE: Do not wash the rubber parts with solvent.
6. Insert the inboard end (A) of the driveshaft into the differential (B) or the intermediate shaft (C) until the
set ring (D) locks in the groove (E).
NOTE: Insert the driveshaft horizontally to prevent
damaging the oil seal. 7. Install the outboard joint (A) into the front hub (B).
8. Connect the knuckle (A) onto the lower arm (B).
During installation, install a new flange bolt and
new self-locking nuts. After lightly tightening all
three fasteners, tighten them to the specified
torque in the following order: the nut on the front
(C), the nut on the rear (D), then the bolt (E).

The power steering system adopts the electric power steering assisting for the control force of the steering wheel in
the driving force of the electric motor.
The EPS control unit is doing an appropriate steering force control according to the running situation of the vehicle (at
time of low speed, lightness, by the control of emphasis and high-speed running time, control with the steady weight
and the control which will be switched from low speed to high speed smoothly later) by the EPS motor.
The EPS control unit is designed for use with an automotive power steering for the primary purpose of controlling the
assist motor (brushless motor) for the power steering by using as inputs the steering torque signals received from the
‘‘steering torque sensor’’ installed in the steering gearbox as well as the speed signals received from the ‘‘vehicle
speed sensor’’ installed in the vehicle. In addition to the above function, the EPS control unit also provides the failsafe
function, self diagnosis function and motor output limiting function.

(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Check the toe.
 If adjustment is required, go to step 3.
 If no adjustment is required, go to turning angleinspection.
3. Hold the adjusting bolt (A) on the trailing arm (B), and loosen the self-locking nut (C).
4. Replace the self-locking nut with a new one, and lightly tighten it.
NOTE: Always use a new self-locking nut whenever it has been tightened to the specified torque.
 Reassemble the adjusting bolt and the adjusting cam plate with the eccentric facing up.
5. Adjust the rear toe by turning the adjusting bolt until the toe is correct.
6. Tighten the self-locking nut to the specified torque value while holding the adjusting bolt. Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Turn the wheel right and left while applying the brake, and measure the turning angle of both
wheels.
2. If the measurement is not within the specifications, even up both sides of the tie-rod threaded section
length while adjusting the front toe. If it is correct,
but the turning angle is not within the
specifications, check for bent or damaged
suspension components.

17. Install the knuckle/hub in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items:
 First install all of the components, and lightly tighten the bolts and the nuts, then raise the
suspension to load it with the vehicle’s weight
before fully tightening to the specified torque
values.
 Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when connecting the knuckle.
 Before connecting the lower ball joint to the knuckle, degrease the threaded section and the
tapered portion of the ball joint pin, the ball joint
connecting hole, the threaded section, and the
mating surfaces of the castle nut.
 Torque the castle nut to the lower torque specification, then tighten it only far enough to
align the slot with the ball joint pin hole. Do not
align the castle nut by loosening it.
 Use a new spindle nut during reassembly.
 Before installing the spindle nut, apply a small amount of engine oil to the seating surface of the
nut. After tightening, use a drift to stake the
spindle nut shoulder against the driveshaft.
 Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surfaces of the front hub and the inside of the
brake disc.
 Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the
wheel.
18. Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary (see page 18-5). 1. Separate the hub (A) from the knuckle (B) using the
hub dis/assembly tool and a hydraulic press. Hold
the knuckle with the attachment (C) of the hydraulic
press or equivalent tool. Be careful not to damage
or deform the splash guard (D). Hold onto the hub
to keep it from falling when pressed clear.
2. Press the wheel bearing inner race (A) off of the hub (B) using the hub dis/assembly tool, a
commercially available bearing separator (C), and a
press.
