tube, inner shaft and drive axles. A full-floating axle design is
used. Drive axles are flexible assemblies made up of inner and outer
CV joints. Birfield Joints (BJ) and Double Offset Joints (DOJ) are
used at opposite ends of each drive axle.
AXLE RATIO & IDENTIFICATION
Ratio is determined by dividing number of ring gear teeth by
number of drive pinion teeth.

NOTE: References to BJ refer to Birfield Joint and DOJ to Double
Offset Joint.
TESTING
TOTAL ASSEMBLY BACKLASH
Place transfer case in "4H" position. Raise and support
vehicle. Check total backlash at flange. If backlash at flange exceeds
.55" (14.0 mm), check assembly for wear and proper adjustment.
DRIVE AXLES R & I
REMOVAL
1) Remove undercover on Montero. Place hub in free-wheeling
position. Place transfer case in 2H position. Remove drive hub cover,
snap ring and shim from drive axle. Remove brake calipers and wire out
of way.
2) Using dial indicator, check drive axle end play. Rotate
drive axle forward and rearward until maximum end play is obtained.
End play must be adjusted during reassembly if not within .008-.020"
(.20-.50 mm). Disconnect tie rod assembly. Support lower control arm
with jack.
3) Separate ball joints from knuckle. Remove knuckle and
front hub assembly. Remove left drive axle from differential carrier.
Use care not to damage oil seal. On right drive axle, remove drive
axle-to-inner shaft retaining bolts. Remove right drive axle.
CAUTION: Support lower control arm during drive axle removal and
installation.

1991 DRIVE AXLES
Locking Hubs
Mitsubishi: Montero, Pickup
DESCRIPTION
Automatic hubs are engaged by rotational force of axle shaft
when 4WD is selected at transfer case. Automatic hubs disengage when
2WD is selected or vehicle is driven in Reverse. Cams, brakes and
springs are used to lock or unlock automatic hubs.
Engagement is accomplished through gears and spring actions
within hub. When hub is locked, hub brake engages inner hub, which is
connected to axle shaft by inner splines of hub. Hub brake is
connected to hub body by outer splines.
REMOVAL
1) Hub must be unlocked. To unlock hub, place transfer case
lever in 2H position and move vehicle in Reverse approximately 4-6
feet.
2) Remove cover from locking hub. If hub cover cannot be
loosened by hand, wrap shop towel around cover and use an oil filter
wrench to loosen cover.
3) Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Using
snap ring pliers, remove snap ring and shim from end of axle. Remove
locking hub retaining bolts. Remove locking hub.
INSTALLATION
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply sealant to
contact areas between locking hub assembly and hub/rotor assembly.
Ensure sealant is NOT applied on outer areas of hub/rotor assembly
toward brake contact areas.
2) Align locking hub assembly key area with steering knuckle
key way area. Loosely install locking hub assembly on hub/rotor
assembly. Ensure locking hub assembly fully contacts hub/rotor
assembly.
3) Install locking hub retaining bolts. Tighten bolts to 36-
43 ft. lbs. (49-58 N.m). Using spring scale attached to wheel stud,
measure turning resistance required to rotate hub/rotor assembly.
4) Turning resistance should NOT exceed 3.1 lbs. (1.4 kg). I\
f
turning resistance exceeds specification, check for incorrect
installation of locking hub assembly or components.
5) Install shim and snap ring on drive axle. Rotate drive
axle until maximum end play is obtained. Using a dial indicator, check
drive axle end play.
6) Drive axle end play should be .008-.020" (.20-.51 mm). If\
axle end play is NOT within specification, adjust end play by changing
axle shaft shim. Install hub cover. Tighten hub cover 13-25 ft. lbs.
(18-34 N.m).
