On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEDS001AT
Inspect the components for any looseness or back lash. Inspect each component for any excessive wear or
damage. Replace any components as necessary.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION

Move the wheel hub and bearing assembly in the axial direction by hand to check the axial end play.
Check that the axial end play is with specification. Replace the wheel hub and bearing assembly as nec-
essary.

Rotate the wheel hub and bearing assembly to check that there are no unusual noises or other abnormal
conditions. Replace the wheel hub and bearing assembly as necessary.
Removal and InstallationEDS001AU
Rear Wheel Hub and Bearing Assembly
NOTE:
The rear ABS sensor is routed through the back of the rear backing plate and into the side of the wheel hub
and bearing assembly. It is necessary to remove the wheel hub and bearing assembly to remove the rear ABS
sensor.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove the rear brake caliper, without disconnecting the hydraulic hose, using power tool. Reposition the
rear brake caliper aside using suitable wire. Refer to BR-28, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper
Assembly and Disc Rotor" .
NOTE:

Do not depress the brake pedal while the brake caliper is removed.
3. Remove the rear disc rotor.Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)

Revision: August 20072004 QX56
TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid bumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sun visor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headliner and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (FRONT AND REAR)
Overhead console noises are often caused by the console panel clips not being engaged correctly. Most of
these incidents are repaired by pushing up on the console at the clip locations until the clips engage.
In addition look for:
1. Loose harness or harness connectors.
2. Front console map/reading lamp lens loose.
3. Loose screws at console attachment points.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
CAUTION:
Final drive pinion nut torque will be determined when adjusting the total preload. Refer to RFD-12,
"TOTAL PRELOAD" .
Pre-InspectionEDS002JO
Before disassembling the rear final drive, perform the following inspections.
TOTAL PRELOAD
1. Turn the drive pinion in both directions several times to set the
bearing rollers.
2. Check the total preload using Tool.
DRIVE GEAR TO DRIVE PINION BACKLASH
Check the drive gear to drive pinion backlash using a dial gauge at
several points as shown.
DRIVE GEAR RUNOUT
Check the runout of the drive gear using a dial gauge as shown.

22. Filler plug 23. Drain plug 24. Side oil seal
Tool number : ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)
Total preload : 2.05 - 4.11 N·m (0.21 - 0.42 kg-m,
19 - 36 in-lb)
SPD8 84
Drive gear to drive pinion backlash : 0.13 - 0.18 mm
(0.0051 - 0.0070 in)

6. Measure the drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash with a dial indi-
cator at several points.

If the backlash is less than specification, adjust the washer thickness. Decrease the thickness of the left
washer and increase the thickness of the right washer by the same amount.

If the backlash is greater than specification, adjust the washer thickness. Increase the thickness of the
left washer and decrease the thickness of the right washer by the same amount.

Never change the total amount of the washers as it will change the bearing preload.
7. Check the total preload using Tool.
When checking the preload, turn the drive pinion in both direc-
tions several times to seat the bearing rollers correctly.

If the preload is greater than specification, remove the same amount of washer thickness from each
side.

If the preload is less than specification, add the same amount of washer thickness to each side.

Never add or remove a different amount of washer thickness from each side. A difference in the amount
of washer thickness will change the drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash.
8. Recheck the drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash. Increase or decrease in thickness of the washers will
change the drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash.

Check whether the backlash varies excessively in different places. Foreign matter may be caught
between the drive gear and the differential case causing the variation in backlash.

The backlash can vary greatly even when the drive gear runout is within specification. To correct this
variation, replace the hypoid gear set or differential case.
9. Check runout of drive gear using a dial indicator.
10. Check the tooth contact.
Refer to RFD-19, "
TOOTH CONTACT" . Drive gear to drive pinion backlash : 0.13 - 0.18 mm
(0.0051 - 0.0070 in)
