GENERAL INFORMATION
REAR AXLE27-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1271000100304
The rear axle has the following features:
•The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing (dou-
ble-row angular contact ball bearing) which incor-
porates the oil seals and is highly resistant to a
thrust load.
•ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speeds is
press-fitted to the rear hub.

CAUTION
•Care must be taken not to scratch or damage the teeth of the ABS rotor. The ABS rotor must never
be dropped. If the teeth of the ABS rotor are chipped, resulting in a deformation of the ABS rotor,
it will not be able to accurately detect the wheel rotation speed, and the system will not function
normally.

The rear hub assembly should not be dismantled. When removing the rear hub assembly, the
wheel bearing inner race may be left at the spindle side. In this case, always replace the rear hub
assembly, otherwise the hub will damage the oil seal, causing oil leaks or excessive play.

1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Remove the stabilizer link from the lower arm.
3. Move the lower arm up and down with your hands to check for an excessive play in the axial
direction of the ball joint. If there is an excessive
play, replace the lower arm assembly.

CHECK
M1332008600321
1. Press the lower arm ball joint cover with your finger to check that there are no cracks or
damage in the lower arm ball joint cover.
2. If the lower arm ball joint cover is cracked or damaged, replace the lower arm assembly.
NOTE: If the lower arm ball joint cover is cracked
or damaged, it is possible that there may also be
damage to the ball joint.
