2004 DRIVELINE/AXLES
Front Axle - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles, wheel bearings and drive shafts, and
has the following features:
The wheel bearing incorporates a unit ball bearing (double-row angular contact
ball bearing) for reduced friction. The front wheel hub assembly combines the hub, wheel bearing, housing, and
oil seal in a single unit for fewer parts, better durability, improved assembly
precision, and better structural organization. The driveshaft incorporates BJ-PTJ type constant velocity joints< FWD>, BJ-
DOJ < AWD-LH>and BJ-TJ< AWD-RH> with high transmission efficiency
for low vibration and noise. Due to the use of the inner shaft and bracket assembly, the right and left drive
shafts are approximately the same in length. This reduces noise, vibration and
torque steer.< FWD> ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speeds is press-fitted to the rear hub in
vehicles with ABS.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1: Noise During Wheel Rotation DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the wheel bearing end play.
1. Remove the caliper assembly and suspend it with a wire.
2. Remove the brake disc from the front hub.
3. Attach a dial gauge as shown in the illustration, and then measure the end
play while moving the hub in the axial direction.
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
Q: Is the wheel bearing end play within the limit?
YES: Go to step 2.
NO: Replace the part, then go to Step
5.

YES: Replace the drive shaft assembly. Then go to Step 5.
NO: There is no action to be taken.
STEP 5. Retest the system.
Q: Is the abnormal noise eliminated?
NO: Repeat to Step 1 .
YES: The procedure is complete.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: Noise Due To Excessive Play Of Wheel In Turning Direction DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check for play in the inner shaft and side gear serration, the
drive shaft and side gear serration, or the drive shaft and front hub
serration.
Q: Is the play found?
YES: Replace the part. Then go to Step 2.
NO: The procedure is complete.
STEP 2. Retest the system.
Q: Is the abnormal noise eliminated?
NO: Repeat to Step 1.
YES: The procedure is complete.
