EJREMOVAL
Preparation: • Turn the steering wheel so that the
vehicle's
wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
• Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK".
•
Disconnect the battery "-" terminal
cable,
and wait at least 5 minutes.
• Disconnect the yellow 3way SRS
connector located under the steering
column.
wcAUTION:
The wheel of the vehicle must be straight ahead
and the steering
column in the "LOCK• position
before disconnecting the steering
column from
the steering gear.
Failure to do so will cause the SRS coil assembly
to become uncentered which will cause damage
to the SRS coil assembly.

4. Inflator module (Fig.3F4-32)
• Loosen the inflator module fixing bolt from behind
the steering
wheel assembly using a TORX® driver
or
equivalent until the inflator module can be
released from steering assembly.
•
Disconnect the yellow 2way SRS connector
located behind the inflator module.

\V CAUTION:
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were removed.
If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for that application. If the correct
part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may be used.
Fasteners
that are not reused, and those requiring thread locking compound, will be called out. The
correct
torque values must be used when installing fasteners that require torque. If the above conditions

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The rear axle assembly is of the semi-floating type in
which the vehicle weight is carried on the axle
housing (Fig. 48-1).
The center
line of the pinion gear is below the center
line of the ring gear (hypoid drive).
All parts necessary to transmit power from the
propeller shaft to the rear wheels are enclosed in a
banjo type axle housing.
The 8.7 inch ring gear rear axle uses a conventional
ring and
pinion gear set to transmit the driving force
of the engine to the rear wheels. This gear set transfers
this driving force at a 90 degree angle from the
propeller shaft to the drive shafts. The
axle shafts
are supported at the wheel end of the
shaft by a roller bearing.
The
pinion gear is supported by two tapered roller
bearings. The pinion depth is set by a shim pack
located between the gear end of the pinion and the
roller bearing that is pressed onto the pinion. The
pinion bearing preload is set by crushing a collapsible
spacer between the bearings in the axle housing.

The ring gear
is bolted onto the differential cage with
12 bolts.
The differential cage is supported in the axle housing
by two tapered roller bearings. The differential and
ring gear are
located in relationship to the pinion by
using selective shims and spacers between the
bearing and the
axle housing. To move the ring gear,
shims are deleted from one side and an equal amount
are added to the other side. These shims are also used
to preload the bearings which are pressed onto the
differential cage. Two bearing caps are used to hold
the differential into the rear axle housing. The
differential is
used to allow the wheels to turn at
different rates
of speed while the rear axle continues to
transmit the driving force. This prevents tire scuffing
when going around corners and prevents premature
wear on internal axle parts.
The rear
axle is sealed with a pinion seal, a seal at each
axle shaft end, and by a liquid gasket between the
differential carrier and the axle housing.

REAR AXLE 48-3
DIAGNOSIS OF REAR AXLE NOISE
Many noises that seem to come from the rear axle
actually
originate from other sources such as tires,
road surface, wheel bearings, engine, transmission,
muffler,
or body drumming. Investigate to find the
source
ofthe noise before disassembling the rear axle.
Rear axles,
like any other mechanical device, are not
absolutely quiet but should be considered quiet unless
some abnormal noise is present.
To make a systematic check
for axle noise, observe the
following:
1. Select a level asphalt road to reduce tire noise and
body drumming.
2. Check rear axle lubricant level to assure correct
level, and then drive the vehicle far enough to
thoroughly warm up the rear axle lubricant.
3. Note the speed at which noise occurs. Stop the
vehicle and put the transmission in neutral. Run
the engine speed
slowly up and down to
determine if the noise is caused by exhaust,
muffler noise, or other engine conditions.
4. Tire noise changes with different road surfaces;
axle noises do not. Temporarily inflate all tires to
344
kPa (50 psi) (for test purposes only). This will
change noise caused by tires but will not affect
noise caused by the rear
axle.
Rear axle nose usually stops when coasting at
speeds under
48 km/h (30 mph); however, tire
noise continues
with a lower tone. Rear axle noise
usually changes when comparing pull and coast,
but tire noise stays about the same.
Distinguish between tire noise and rear
axle noise
by noting
if the noise changes with various
speeds
or sudden acceleration and deceleration.
Exhaust and
axle noise vary under these
conditions,
while tire noise remains constant and
is more pronounced at speeds
of 32 to 48 km/h
(20 to 30 mph). Further check for tire noise by
driving the vehicle
over smooth pavements or dirt
roads (not gravel) with the tires at normal
pressure.
If the noise is caused by tires, it will
change noticeably with changes in road surface.
5. Loose or rough front wheel bearings will cause
noise
which may be confused with rear axle
noise; however, front wheel bearing noise does
not change when comparing drive and coast.
Light application
of the brake while holding
vehicle speed steady
will often cause wheel
bearing noise to diminish. Front wheel bearings
may be checked for noise by jacking up the
wheels and spinning them
or by shaking the
wheels
to determine if bearings are loose.
6. Rear suspension rubber bushings and spring
insulators dampen
out rear axle noise when
correctly installed. Check to see that there is no
link or rod loosened or metal-to-metal contact.
7. Make sure that there is no metal-to-metal contact
between the
floor and the frame.
After the noise has been determined to be in the axle,
the type of axle noise should be determined, in order to
make any necessary repairs.
GEAR NOISE
Gear noise (whine) is audible from 32 to 89 km/h (20 to
55 mph) under four driving conditions.
1. In drive under acceleration or heavy pull.
2. Driving under load or under constant speed.
3. When using enough throttle to keep the vehicle
from driving the engine while the vehicle slows
down gradually (engine still pulls slightly).
4. When coasting with the vehicle in gear and the
throttle closed. The gear noise is
usually more
noticeable between 48 and 64
km/h (30 and 40
mph) and 80 and 89 km/h (50 and 55 mph).
BEARING NOISE
Bad bearings generally produce a rough growl or
grating sound, rather than the whine typical of gear
noise. Bearing noise frequently
"wow-wows" at
bearing rpm, indicating a bad pinion
or rear axle side
bearing. This noise can
be confused with rear wheel
bearing noise.
REAR WHEEL BEARING NOISE
Rear wheel bearing noise continues to be heard while
coasting at low speed with transmission in the neutral.
Noise may diminish by gentle braking. Jack up the rear
wheels, spin them by hand and
listen for noise at the
hubs. Replace any faulty
wheel bearings.
KNOCK AT LOW SPEEDS
Low speed knock can be caused by worn universal
joints or a side gear hub counter bore in the cage that is
worn oversize. Inspect and replace universal joints or
cage and side gears as required.
BACKLASH CLUNK
Excessive clunk on acceleration and deceleration can
be caused by a worn rear axle pinion shaft, a worn
cage, excessive clearance between the axle and the
side gear splines, excessive clearance between the
side gear hub and the counterbore in the cage,
worn
pinion and side gear teeth, worn thrust washers, or
excessive drive pinion and ring gear backlash.
Remove
worn parts and replace as required. Select
close-fitting parts when possible. Adjust pinion and
ring gear backlash.
