Tighten temporarily mounting nut to prevent damage to
threads and to prevent ball joint remover (SST) from com-
ing off.
7. Remove cotter pin at transverse link, then loosen mounting nut.
8. Use a ball joint remover (SST) to remove transverse link from steering knuckle. Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
CAUTION:
Tighten temporarily mounting nut to prevent damage to
threads and to prevent ball joint remover (SST) from com-
ing off.

10. Remove steering knuckle from vehicle.
11. Remove fixing bolts between steering knuckle and wheel hub and bearing assembly with power tool.
12. Remove splash guard and wheel hub and bearing assembly from steering knuckle.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check for deformity, cracks and damage on each parts, replace if necessary.
Ball Joint Inspection

Check for boot breakage, axial looseness, and torque of transverse link and steering outer socket ball
joint. Refer to FSU-14, "
TRANSVERSE LINK" , PS-17, "POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE" .
INSTALLATION

Refer to FAX-4, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.

After removing/installing or replacing axle components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "Wheel
Alignment Inspection" .

After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

Check the following item after service

CautionNDS000C0
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and servicing drive shaft.

Joint sub-assembly does not disassemble because it is non-overhaul parts.

Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.

Before disassembling and servicing, clean the outside of parts.

Prevention of the entry of foreign objects must be taken into account during disassembly of the service
location.

Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean
cover must be placed over parts.

Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adher-
ing to parts.

Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by
blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.
