INSPECTION
1. HUB ROTATION STARTING TORQUE CHECK
(1) Install the special tool to the front hub assembly and
tighten the nut to the specified torque.
(2) Use the special tool to measure the hub rotation starting
torque.
Limit: 1.8 Nm {18.0 kgf
cm}
(3) The hub rotation starting torque should be within the limit
value range, and there should be no engagement or
feeling of roughness.
2. HUB AXIAL PLAY CHECK
(1) Measure the hub play in the axial direction.
Limit: 0.05 mm
NOTE
Measure the hub play while clamping the hub in a vice
with wooden blocks against the bearing section.
(2) If the limit value of hub axial play cannot be obtained
with the nut tightened to the specified torque (177 to
275 Nm {18.0 to 28.0 kgf
m}), replace the front hub
assembly.MB991000

REAR AXLE – Rear Hub Assembly27-34
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
ADRIVE SHAFT NUT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the washer on the drive shaft in the direction shown
on the left.
(2) Using the special tool, tighten the drive shaft nut to the
specified torque.
Caution
Before torquing the drive shaft nut to specification,
do not apply vehicle weight to the wheel bearing.
(3) If, at this time, the split pin holes are not aligned, tighten
the nut further (within 255 Nm {26.0 kgf
m}), insert the
split pin in the first matching holes, and bend it securely.
INSPECTION
1. REAR WHEEL BEARING ROTATION STARTING
TORQUE
(1) Install the special tool to the rear hub assembly and tighten
it to the specified torque.
(2) Using the special tool, measure the wheel bearing rotation
starting torque.
Limit: 1.0 Nm {10.5 kgf
cm}
(3) The wheel bearing starting torque should be within the
limit and the hub should be free of binding or rough motion
when turned.
2. WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECK
(1) Check the wheel bearing for axial play.
Limit: 0.05 mm
(2) If the specified torquing range (196 to 255 Nm {20.0
to 26.0 kgf
m}) does not bring the wheel bearing axial
play into the limit, replace the rear hub assembly.
