DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
FRONT AXLE26-16
CAUTION
•Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will
damage the TJ; be sure to use the pry bar.
•When pulling the drive shaft out from the
transmission, be careful that the spline part of
the drive shaft does not damage the oil seal.
3. Insert a pry bar between the transmission case
and the drive shaft, and then pry and remove the
drive shaft from the transmission.4. Use special tool plug (MB991460) to prevent the
entry of foreign material into the transmission
case.
CAUTION
Do not apply pressure to the wheel bearing by
the vehicle weight to avoid possible damage
when the drive shaft is removed. If, however,
vehicle weight must be applied to the bearing in
moving the vehicle, temporarily secure the wheel
bearing by using the following special tools.

CAUTION
When installing the drive shaft, be careful that
the spline part of the drive shaft does not
damage the oil seal.
>>B<< STABILIZER
RUBBER/SELF-LOCKING NUT
(STABILIZER BAR CONNECTION)
INSTALLATION
Install the stabilizer rubber and collar as shown in the
figure, and tighten the self-locking nut so that the
protruding length of the stabilizer bar mounting bolt
protruding part meets its standard value (A).
Standard value (A): 22 ± 1.5 mm
>>C<< WASHER/DRIVE SHAFT NUT
INSTALLATION
1. Be sure to install the drive shaft washer in the
specified direction.
CAUTION
Before securely tightening the drive shaft nuts,
make sure there is no load on the wheel
bearings. Otherwise the wheel bearing will be
damaged.
2. Using special tool end yoke holder (MB990767),
tighten the drive shaft nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 245 ± 29 N⋅m

GENERAL INFORMATION
REAR AXLE27-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1271000100304
The rear axle has the following features:
•The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing
(double-row angular contact ball bearing) which
incorporates the oil seals and is highly resistant
to a thrust load.•ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speeds is
press-fitted to the rear hub in vehicles with ABS.

WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECKM1271000900452
1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the
caliper assembly with a wire and remove the
brake disc.
2. Check the bearing's axial play. Place a dial gauge
against the hub surface; then move the hub in the
axial direction and check whether or not there is
axial play.
Limit: 0.05 mm
3. If the play exceeds the limit, the self-locking nut
should be tightened to the specified torque and
check the axial play again.
Tightening torque: 175 ± 25 N⋅m
4. Replace the rear hub assembly if an adjustment
cannot be made to within the limit.
REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING
RESISTANCE CHECK
M1271001100244
1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the
caliper assembly with a wire and remove the
brake disc.
2. Turn the hub a few times to seat the bearing.3. Wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub
by pulling at a 90° angle with a spring balance.
Measure to determine whether or not the
rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is at the
limit value.
Limit: 19 N
4. If limit value is exceeded, loosen the self-locking
nut and then tighten it to the specified torque and
check the rear hub rotary sliding resistance again.
Tightening torque: 175 ± 25 N⋅m
5. Replace the rear hub assembly if an adjustment
cannot be made to within the limit.
HUB BOLT REPLACEMENTM1271001000258
1. Remove the caliper assembly and suspend it with
wire so that it does not fall.
2. Remove the brake disc.
3. Use special tool hub bolt remover (MB991618) to
remove the hub bolts.
4. Install the plain washer to the new hub bolt, and
install the bolt with a nut while holding the hub
with special tool end yoke holder (MB990767).
5. Install the brake disc, caliper assembly and
tighten the caliper assembly mounting bolts to the
specified torque 60 ± 5 N⋅m.

CAUTION
•Care must be taken not to scratch or damage the teeth of the ABS rotor. The ABS rotor must never
be dropped. If the teeth of the ABS rotor are chipped, resulting in a deformation of the ABS rotor,
it will not be able to accurately detect the wheel rotation speed, and the system will not function
normally.
•The rear hub assembly should not be dismantled. When removing the rear hub assembly, the
wheel bearing inner race may be left at the spindle side. In this case, always replace the rear hub
assembly, otherwise the hub will damage the oil seal, causing oil leaks or excessive play.
