ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

1. REAR AXLE TOTAL BACKLASH CHECK
If the drive system roars or the vehicle vibrates, use the
following procedure to measure total backlash in the rear
axle. Based on the measurement taken, determine whether
the differential carrier assembly needs to be removed or not.
(1) Place the shift lever in the neutral position and operate
the parking brake.
(2) Turn the propeller shaft fully clockwise and make an
alignment mark on the companion flange dust cover and
gear carrier.
(3) Turn the propeller shaft fully counterclockwise and
measure the deviation between the alignment marks.
Limit: 5 mm
(4) If the backlash exceeds the limit, replace the differential
carrier assembly.
2. GEAR OIL LEVEL CHECK
2-1 DIFFERENTIAL
(1) Remove the filler plug.
(2) Check that the gear oil level is within the specified range
from the bottom end of the filler plug hole.
Standard value (A): 6 mm
(3) If the gear oil level exceeds the standard value, add the
specified gear oil up to the bottom end of the filler plug
hole.
Specified gear oil:
MITSUBISHI GENUINE DIA QUEEN SUPER
HYPOID GEAR OIL (GL-5)

4. FLUID LEVEL CHECK
(1) Remove the maintenance lid located in the luggage
compartment.
(2) If the vehicle has been run, leave it for 5 min. or more
in an ordinary temperature (10
C to 30
C) to allow the
accumulator internal pressure to drop.
NOTE
If the ambient temperature is less than 10
C or less,
allow more time to leave the vehicle to stand idle.
(3) Check that the fluid level in the oil reservoir is in the
range between MAX and MIN.
(4) If the fluid level is lower than MIN, add the specified
fluid.
Specified fluid: MITSUBISHI DIA QUEEN ATF-SPII
(5) Reinstall the maintenance lid.
5. BLEEDING
(1) Lift up the vehicle.
(2) Remove the cap of the left bleeder screw on the torque
transfer differential and connect a vinyl hose.
(3) Gradually turn the steering wheel clockwise from the
straight-ahead position. At this time, loosen the left bleeder
screw and check that fluid is discharged with air.
(4) After air has been completely discharged, tighten the
bleeder screw.
Caution
While the system is being bled of air, add fluid as
necessary to ensure that it is left in the oil reservoir
during the entire procedure.
(5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) two to three times until no air
bubbles are recognized in the fluid that comes out. Then,
tighten the bleeder screw to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9 Nm {0.9 kgf
m}
(6) Perform steps (2) through (5) for the right bleeder screw.
Note, however, that the steering wheel should be turned
counterclockwise.

(7) After the system has been completely bled of air, check
for the fluid level.
Caution
If the system is not completely bled of air, the hydraulic
unit could generate noise, degrading pump durability.
6. DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER OIL SEAL
REPLACEMENT
6-1 DIFFERENTIAL
(1) Remove the drive shaft. (Refer to p. 27-36.)
(2) Remove the oil seal from the differential carrier.
(3) Using the special tool, drive a new oil seal all the way
into position.
(4) Coat the oil seal lips and the drive shaft surface in contact
with the oil seal with multi-purpose grease.
(5) Replace the drive shaft circlip with a new one and mount
the drive shaft to the differential carrier. (Refer to P.27-36.)
(6) Check for correct wheel alignment. (Refer to GROUP
34 – On-vehicle Service.)

(2) Using the special tool, tighten the drive shaft nut to the
specified torque.
Caution
Before torquing the drive shaft nut to specification,
do not apply vehicle weight to the wheel bearing.
(3) If, at this time, the split pin holes are not aligned, tighten
the nut further (within 255 Nm {26.0 kgf
m}), insert the
split pin in the first matching holes, and bend it securely.
INSPECTION
1. REAR WHEEL BEARING ROTATION STARTING
TORQUE
(1) Install the special tool to the rear hub assembly and tighten
it to the specified torque.
(2) Using the special tool, measure the wheel bearing rotation
starting torque.
Limit: 1.0 Nm {10.5 kgf
cm}
(3) The wheel bearing starting torque should be within the
limit and the hub should be free of binding or rough motion
when turned.
2. WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECK
(1) Check the wheel bearing for axial play.
Limit: 0.05 mm
(2) If the specified torquing range (196 to 255 Nm {20.0
to 26.0 kgf
m}) does not bring the wheel bearing axial
play into the limit, replace the rear hub assembly.
