Drive shaft installation
1. Insert the drive shaft.
First, align the inner end of the drive shaft and differential
spline. Keep the drive shaft axes and the differential axes
bases uniform, then hammer towards the direction of the
differential drive shaft's outer end until a clear and sharp
clicking sound is heard. Here, the drive shaft and the
transmission should have a clearance of about 1 mm.
2. According to the front suspension and wheel assembly
installation specifications, properly install the front
shock absorber with coil spring assembly LH and
wheel.
3. Use an M32 sleeve, ratchet wrench, and extension bar
to tighten front drive shaft nut LH.
Tightening torque: 225±20 N·m

Dynamic balance and static balance
There are two types of wheel balance: static and dynamic.
Picture 1 shows static balance. Picture 2 shows dynamic
balance.
Static balance means that the weight distribution around the
wheel is equal. If the wheel is static and unbalanced, violent
vibrations may be created, called jump vibration.This kind
of situation can ultimately lead to the uneven wear and tear
of the tires. Shown in diagram 1.
Dynamic balance means that the weight distribution on the
two sides of the medium plane of the wheel is equal, so
during the rotation process, the tire assembly cannot create a
tendency for the medium plane of the wheel to shift from one
side to the other. If the wheel is dynamic and unbalanced, it
can create a shimmying effect. Shown in diagram 2.

Wheel maintenance
Do not use welding, heating, or hammering to repair wheels. All damaged wheels must be replaced.
If the vehicle's wheel is twisted or deformed, sunken or depressed, having too much horizontal or radial hop,
leaking air from the welded parts, stretched out at the bolt holes , having flimsy nut bolt lock, or severely rusty,
the wheel must be replaced. When the wheel is hopping too much, it will lead to undesirable vibratio\
ns.
When replacing the tire, be sure that the load capacity, diameter, rim width, offset distance, and the installation
structure of it, are equal to the settings of original wheel. If the wheel dimensions are not appropriate, this will
influence the wheel and bearing's life, brake cooling effect, speedometer and odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance, as well as the clearance between the tire and the vehi\
cle body, and the tire and vehicle chassis.
Wheel (steel wheel) removal
1. Remove the wheelhouse and loosen the nuts, 1-2 turns is
enough.
2. Hoist the vehicle.
3. Screw off the nuts and remove the wheel.
Nut tightening torque: 110±10 N·m
Caution: Heating methods absolutely must not be used
to loosen tightened wheels, otherwise the heat will
reduce its use life and damage the hub bearing.
Wheel (steel wheel) installation
Installation according to the reversed instructions used for
removal, and pay attention to the following requirements:
Wheel nuts must be tightened in proper order and according to
the specified torque, as to avoid wheel or brake disc deformity.
When installing the wheel house, be sure to line up the wheel
housing notch locations with the inflation nozzle.
Tightening sequence: A – C – B – D
Caution: Before installing the wheel, first clean off the
corrosion on the wheel's mounting surface and drum
brake or brake disc's installation surface with a wire
brush, in order to make the wheel installing easier by
making the space between its metal firmly connect
to the mounting surface, otherwise it may lead to the
wheel nuts loosening to the extent that the vehicle's
wheel may come off while driving some day.

Steering Knuckle and Hub Brake Assembly
Components
Disposable parts
Steering knuckle and hub brake assembly
examination and disassembly
1. Hoist the vehicle and remove the wheels.
2. Loosen the riveted areas of the front drive shaft nut
and remove the nut.
3. Inspect the front brake disc plate surface runout.
When measuring, tighten the two wheel nuts' symmetrical
locations. The front brake disc's brake linings runout on the
two sides should be no more than 0.11 mm. If oversized,
they should be repaired or replaced.
4. Inspect front brake disc thickness.
Standard thickness: 22.0 mm
Minimum thickness: 20.0 mm
The brake disc must be changed when it reaches the minimum
level of thickness.

(d) Measure the front hub bearing's starting torque.
Put the SST on the wheel bolts which are at the symmetric
locations. Put a dial torque wrench on the SST to slowly
rotate the flange assembly (45°/4s), requiring a starting
torque range of 0.1-0.3 N·m.
If the bearing rotation is not flexible, the front hub flange
plate surface movement inaccurate, or front hub bearing
starting torque is too much. The assembly must be replaced.
Steering knuckle's front hub bearing and
front hub flange assembly
1. Removal and inspection of front hub flange assembly.
(a) Use SST like a hand held travel hammer to repeatedly
hammer off the front hub flange assembly from the
steering knuckle and front hub bearing. Remove the
front hub with bearing's inner ring.
(b) Remove the bearing's inner ring on the front hub.
Use SST to remove the bearing's inner ring.

(c) Use dye penetrant to inspect the front hub flange for
cracks, which should be replaced if found.
(d) If one would like to continue using the front hub flange
assembly, first inspect the dimensions for the mounting
area of the bearing for inaccurate dimensions. If
oversized, replace.
Measurement range: Φ38+0.025 +0.009 mm
2. Remove the steering knuckle's front hub bearing.
3. Remove the snap ring for hole 72.

Examining methods are the same as the methods used during
disassembly. Put the SST on the wheel bolts which are at the
symmetrical locations. Put a dial torque wrench on the SST to
slowly rotate the flange's flange assembly (45°/4s), which re-
quires a starting torque range of 0.1-0.3 N·m
