>>C<< WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY
CHECK
1. Measure to determine whether the wheel bearing
axial play is within the limit or not by using the
following special tools.

2. If the play is not within the limit range while the nut
is tightened to 245 ± 29 N⋅m, the bearing, hub
and/or knuckle have probably not been installed
correctly. Replace the bearing and re-install.
INSPECTIONM1261002000078

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.

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.

TORQUE CHECK
M1372001500297
CAUTION
•Do not remove the tie rod end nut from the
ball joint. Loosen it and use special tool to
avoid possible damage to the ball joint
threads.
•Hang special tool with cord to prevent it from
falling.
1. Install special tool ball joint remover (MB991897)
as shown in the figure.
2. Turn the bolt and knob as necessary to make the
jaws of special tool parallel, tighten the bolt by
hand and confirm that the jaws are still parallel.
NOTE: When adjusting the jaws in parallel, make
sure the knob is in the position shown in the
figure.
3. Tighten the bolt with a wrench to disconnect the
tie rod end.4. Move the ball joint stud several times and install
the nut on the stud. Using special tool preload
socket (MB990326), measure the ball joint turning
torque.
Standard value: 0.5 − 2.5 N⋅m
5. If the turning torque exceeds the standard value,
replace the tie rod end.
6. If the turning torque is under the standard value,
check the ball joint for axial play or ratcheting. If
no axial play or ratcheting, the ball joint can be
re-used.
CAUTION
Always use a new ball joint nut as it is a
self-locking nut.
7. Install the tie rod end to the knuckle, then tighten a
new self-locking nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 25 ± 5 N⋅m
STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECKM1372001700332
1. With the vehicle stopped on a flat and paved
surface, turn the steering wheel to the straight
ahead position.
2. Start the engine and set the engine idle speed.
Standard value: 1000 ± 100 r/min
3. Attach a spring balance to the outer
circumference of the steering wheel and measure
the steering force required to turn the steering
wheel from the straight ahead position to the left
and right (within a range of 1.5 turns). Also check
to be sure that there is no significant change in
the required steering effort.
Standard value:
Steering effort: 29 N or less
Fluctuation allowance: 5.9 N or less
4. If the measured value exceeds the standard
value, check and adjust the related parts.
