Check the ball joint. Replace the suspension arm assembly if
any of the following conditions exist:
–Ball stud is worn.
–Joint is hard to swing.
–Play in axial direction is excessive.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten the nuts and bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-26, "Components" .

Perform the final tightening of the nuts and bolts for the links (rubber bushing) under unladen condition
(unladen condition means that the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification, and
the spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions) with the tires on level ground.

Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-28, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
Swinging force “A” : Refer to
RSU-48, "
Ball Joint" .
Turning force “B” : Refer to RSU-48, "
Ball Joint" .
Vertical end play “C” : Refer to RSU-48, "

Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF for approximately 1
second after the engine starts if system is normal.
4WD Warning Lamp Indication
*: When 4WD warning lamp is ON, all the 4WD shift indicator lamps turn OFF.
ATP WARNING LAMP
Even if A/T selector lever is in “P” position, vehicle may move because A/T parking mechanism does not oper-
ate when transfer is under neutral condition. ATP warning lamp is turned on so as to indicate this condition to
the driver.
System DiagramEDS002HB
Condition Content4WD warning lamp
During self-diagnosis Indicates the malfunction position by number of flickers. Flickers at malfunction mode.
Lamp check* Checks the lamp by turning ON during engine starting. After
engine starts, it turns OFF if there are no malfunctions. ON
Malfunction in 4WD system* Turns ON to indicate malfunction. When ignition switch is
turned to
“OFF ” or the malfunction is corrected, it turns OFF. ON
When vehicle is driven with different
diameters of front and rear tires Flickers once every 2 seconds.
Turns OFF when ignition switch is
“OFF ”. Flickers once every 2 sec-
onds.
High fluid temperature in transfer unit When fluid temperature is high or fluid temperature sensor cir-
cuit is shorted, it flickers twice every second.
It turns OFF when fluid temperature becomes normal. Flickers twice a second.
Other than above (System is nor-
mal.) Lamp is OFF.

c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.18 oz) each or below.

If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz), repeat installation procedures.
Wheel balance (Maximum allowable imbalance):
RotationEES001Q1
NOTE:
Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-7, "
PERIODIC MAINTE-
NANCE" .
1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown. Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-38, "
Tire" .
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles), and also after every
wheel and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat
tire.
Maximum allowable imbalance Dynamic (At rim flange)
5 g (0.18 oz) (one side)
