WHEEL BALANCE.r=lFRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. Jack up the rear wheels, and place an axle stand at the
designated part of the side sill.
2. Jack up the front wheels and set a pick-up stand and
balancing machine in place.
Caution
1.Set so that the front and rear of the vehicle are at
the same height.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Rotate each wheel manually and check to be sure
that there is no dragging.
3. Use the engine to drive the tires, and then make the
measurement.Caution
1.If an error is indicated in the state of engine drive,
motor drive can be used concurrently.
2. Do not operate the clutch
suddenly, or increase or
reduce speed suddenly during the work.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. Jack up the front wheels, and place an axle stand at the
designated part of the side sill.
2. Jack up the rear wheels, and then, after setting a pick-up
stand and balancing machine in place, follow the same
procedure as for front wheel measurements.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE - Maintenance Service
L-4GoodOOA0051C9FW1014K512(9) Supply 4 liters (8.5 pints) of specified ATF into case
through dipstick hole. [Total quantity of ATF required is
6.1 liters (12.9 pints).
Actually however, approx. 4.5 liters (9.5 pints) of fluid
can be replaced because rest of fluid remains in torque
converter.]Specified fluid: MOPAR ATF PLUS (Automatic
Transmission Fluid Type 7176) or
Dia ATF SP or Equivalent
(10)Start engine and allow to idle for at least two minutes.
Then, with parking brake on, move selector lever
momentarily to each position, ending in “N” Neutral
position.
(1 l)Add sufficient ATF to bring fluid level to lower mark.
Recheck fluid level after transaxle is at normal operating
temperature.
Fluid level should be between upper and lower marks of“HOT” range. Insert dipstick fully to prevent dirt from
entering transaxle.
11 .ENGINE COOLANT (Change)NOOSBEAcCheck the cooling system parts, such as radiator, heater,
and oil cooler hoses, thermostat and connections for
leakage and damage.
CHANGE COOLANT
1. Remove the radiator cap.
2. Loosen the drain plug to drain the coolant.
3. Drain the coolant from the reserve tank.
4. After draining the coolant, tighten the drain plug
securely.
5.Supply the coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to
its filler neck.
6. Supply the coolant into the reserve tank.
7. After warming the engine until the thermostat opens,
remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level.
8.Supply the coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to
its filler neck, and install the
.radiator, cap securely.
9.Fill the reserve tank with coolant up to the “FULL” line.12DISC BRAKE PADS (Inspect for wear)
NOOSBFA~Check for fluid contamination and wear. Replace complete
set of pads if defective.
Caution
The pads for the right and left wheels should be
replaced at the same time. Never “split” or intermix
brake pad sets.
All four pads must be replace as a complete set.

(1) Drive the oil seal (hub side) into the knuckle by using
the
soecial tools until it is flush with the knuckle end
surface.A(2) Apply multipurpose grease to the lip of the oil seal and
to the surfaces of the oil seal which contact the front
hub.Grease: MOPAR Multi-mileage Lubricant
Part No.2525035 or equivalent
1. INSTALLATION OF FRONT HUB
(1) Use the special tool to mount the front hub assembly
onto the knuckle.
(2) Tighten the nut of the special tool to 200-260 Nm
(144-188
ft.lbs.).(3) Rotate the front hub assembly in order to seat the
bearing.l ADJUSTMENT OF WHEEL BEARING STARTING
TORQUE(1) Measure the wheel bearing starting torque (hub
starting torque) by using the special tools.
Limit: 1.8 Nm (16
in.lbs.) or lessic
‘-NOTEThe starting torque must be within the limit and, in
addition, the bearing must not feel rough when
