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-19, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper
and Disc Rotor".
NOTE:
• Do not depress the brake pedal while the brake caliper is removed.

4. Remove the cotter pin, then remove the nut from the drive shaft
using power tool.
• Discard the cotter pin, use a new one for installation.
5. Remove the drive shaft. Refer to RAX-7, "
Removal and Installa-
tion".
6. Remove the four wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts using power tool.
• Discard the four wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts, use new ones for installation.
7. Pull out the wheel hub and bearing assembly for access to
remove the rear ABS sensor from the wheel hub and bearing
assembly as shown.
• Inspect the ABS sensor O-ring, replace the ABS sensor
assembly if damaged.
• Clean the ABS sensor hole and mounting surface with a suit-
able brake cleaner and a clean lint-free shop rag. Be careful
that dirt and debris do not enter the axle bearing area.
• Apply a coat of suitable grease to the ABS sensor O-ring and
mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Do not pull on the ABS harness.
8. Remove the wheel hub and bearing assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Apply grease 44003 7S000 to contact surface between wheel hub
and drive shaft. Use sufficient grease to completely coat contact
area.
• Inspect the ABS sensor O-ring, replace the ABS sensor assembly
if damaged.
• Clean the ABS sensor hole and mounting surface with a suitable
brake cleaner and a clean lint-free shop rag. Be careful that dirt
and debris do not enter the axle bearing area.
• Apply a coat of suitable grease to the ABS sensor O-ring and
mounting hole.
• Use a new cotter pin for installation.
• Use new wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts for installation.

How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate RepairINFOID:0000000003532657
INTRODUCTION
The rear load leveling air suspension system uses an electronic con-
trol unit to control major functions. The control unit accepts input sig-
nals from the height sensor and controls compressor and exhaust
valve operation.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a rear load leveling air suspen-
sion system problem that occurs intermittently rather than continu-
ously. Most intermittent problems are caused by poor electrical
connections or faulty wiring. In this case, careful checking of suspi-
cious circuits may help prevent the replacement of good parts.
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an air suspension system com-
plaint. The customer is a very good source of information on such
problems, especially intermittent ones. Through discussion with the
customer, find out what symptoms are present and under what con-
ditions they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for basic mechanical problems first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot concerns on an air sus-
pension system equipped vehicle. Also check related Service Bulle-
tins for information.
CLARIFY CONCERN
• A customer's description of a vehicle concern may vary depending
on the individual. It is important to clarify the customer's concern.
• Ask the customer about what symptoms are present under what
conditions. Use this information to reproduce the symptom.

POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure the battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. In addition, make
sure the battery is sufficiently charged.
CK SUSP INDICATOR LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure the CK SUSP indicator lamp turns on for approximately 2 seconds when the ignition switch is
turned ON. If it does not, check the combination meter. Refer to DI-5
.
2. Make sure the lamp turns off approximately 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON. If the lamp
does not turn off, conduct self-diagnosis of the suspension control unit.
3. After conducting the self-diagnosis, be sure to erase the error memory. Refer to RSU-11, "

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific alignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to FSU-19, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*1) *6" .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
• The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct.
• This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.
• Use the “Jacking Compensation” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
• See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER
1. Measure camber of both the right and left wheels with a suitable
alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to specification.
2. If outside of the specified value, adjust the camber using the
adjusting bolt in the front lower link.
CAUTION:
After adjusting the camber then check the toe-in.
NOTE:
Camber changes about 0° 5' with each graduation of the adjust-
ing bolt.
3. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification.
TOE-IN
1. Bounce the rear of the vehicle up and down two to three times to stabilize the vehicle height. Refer to
FSU-20, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)" .
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on the base line of the tread (rear side) of both of the
tires at the same height as the center of the hub. This will be the
measuring points.
4. Measure the distance “A” (rear side) across from tire to tire.Camber : Refer to FSU-19, "
Wheel Alignment (Unlad-
en*1) *6" .
