Description
The rear axle utilizes an independent design. This suspension system incorporates a separate wheel knuckle for
each wheel and allows the wheels to react to road imperfections independent of each other. This independent action
offers improved isolation from the effects of jounce and rebound.
The rear axle consists of the following components:
•Wheel Hub
• Wheel Studs
• Wheel Bearing
• Rear Trailing Arm
For further information on the rear axle assembly see Rear Suspension Description & Operation in Section 10 Sus-
pension.
Operation
The rear axle utilizes a sealed wheel bearing housed in the rear knuckle assembly. Rear Axle

Vehicle Inspection
Inspect the rear axle for the following:
•Check the rear axle for loose bearings.
• Check the rear axle hub for any damage or excessive runout.
Shudder Or Vibration During Acceleration
This problem could be a result of:
•A worn or damaged half shaft inner tripod joint (4x4).
• Improper wheel alignment.
Vehicle Inspection
Inspect the following for leaks or damage:
•Check for grease in the vicinity of the inboard tripod joint and outboard CV joint (4x4).
• Check the inner or outer joint seal boot or seal boot clamp for damage (4x4).
Noise Or Vibration On Turns
A clicking noise or a vibration in turns could be caused by one of the following conditions:
•Damaged outer CV joint or damaged CV seal boot or seal boot clamps (4x4).
• Damaged inner CV joint or damaged CV seal boot or seal boot clamps (4x4).
• Noise may also be caused by another component of the vehicle coming in contact with the half shafts (4x4).
NOTE :
If the CV seal boot is damaged, this will result in the loss and/or contamination of the joint grease, resulting in inad-
equate lubrication of the joint.
Clunking Noise During Acceleration
This noise may be a result of one of the following conditions:
• A torn seal boot on the inner or outer joint of the half shaft assembly (4x4).
• A loose or missing clamp on the inner or outer joint of the half shaft assembly (4x4).
• A damaged or worn half shaft CV joint (4x4).
Shudder Or Vibration During Acceleration
This problem could be a result of:
•A worn or damaged half shaft inner tripod joint (4x4).
• Improper wheel alignment.
Vibration At High Speeds
This problem could be a result of:
•Foreign material (mud, etc.) packed on the backside of the wheel(s).
• Out of balance tires or wheels.
• Improper tire or wheel runout.
Visual Inspection For Fluid Leaks (4x4)
This problem could be a result of:
•Where seals are used: There should be no appearance of fluid leakage or abnormal abrasions.
• Where sealant is applied: There should be no appearance of fluid leakage or fluid seepage.
• Where attaching bolts are used, fluid-fill and fluid-draining plugs are used: There should be no appearance of
fluid leakage, fluid seepage or loose bolts.
• The housing: There should be no appearance of fluid leakage or fluid seepage.
