HEAVY TIGHT-CORNER BRAKING SYMPTOM OCCURS
HEAVY TIGHT-CORNER BR
AKING SYMPTOM OCCURS
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003772176
This symptom occurs when the vehicle is accelerati ng in 4WD and the steering wheel is turned fully either
direction. It may feel like a bump or being pushed fr om behind. A small amount of this bumping feeling is
acceptable under certain road conditions. The transfer case may be adjusted using the CONSULT-III to com-
pensate for this condition.

TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
 Check if the oil passage of the sun gear assembly is clogged. For
this, try to pass a 3.6 mm (0.142 in) dia. pin through the oil pas-
sage as shown.
 Check the sliding and contact surface of each gear and bearing for
damage, burrs, partial wear, dents, and other abnormality. If any is
found, replace the sun gear assembly with a new one.
Internal Gear
 Check the internal gear teeth for damage, partial wear, dents andother abnormality. If any is found, replace the internal gear with a
new one.
Gears and Drive Chain
 Check the gear faces and shaft for wear, cracks, damage, and sei-zure.
 Check the surfaces which contact the sun gear, clutch drum, clutch hub, press flange, clutch piston and each bearing for damage,
peel, partial wear, dents, bending, or other abnormal damage. If
any is found, replace with a new one.
Bearing
 Make sure the bearings roll freely and are free from noise, pittingand cracks.
