REAR SUSPENSION – Rear Suspension Assembly34-5
REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
ABRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Remove the brake caliper assembly and secure it with a
wire.
BPROPELLER SHAFT DISCONNECTION
(1) Make an alignment mark on the differential carrier
companion flange and propeller shaft flange yoke.
(2) Remove the mounting bolts and nuts of the differential
carrier and propeller shaft.
CCROSSMEMBER MOUNTING BOLT REMOVAL
Support the differential case with a garage jack or transmission
jack and then remove the crossmember mounting bolt.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ACROSSMEMBER MOUNTING BOLT
INSTALLATION
Tighten the mounting bolts in the numerical order shown.
NOTE
To ensure both good installation accuracy and ease of
installation, the crossmember mounting holes have different
diameters between front and rear. This is the reason for
specifying the tightening sequence of the mounting bolts.
BPROPELLER SHAFT CONNECTION
Align the alignment mark on the differential carrier with that
of the propeller shaft at installation.
Caution
Oil or grease on the threads of the mounting bolt or nut
can allow the bolt or nut to come loose. Be sure to
degrease the threads before installation.
Bolt size (thread dia. × length mm)
1 to 3: Flange bolt (with washer) 12 × 70
4: Flange bolt (with washer) 12 × 152

REPLACEMENT
Only when the dust cover is damaged accidentally during
service work, replace the dust cover as follows:
(1) Remove the clip ring and the dust cover.
(2) Apply the specified grease to the lip and inside of the
dust cover.
Specified grease:
SHOWA SHELL SEKIYU VARIANT R-2 or

GENERAL
OUTLINE OF CHANGE

The service procedures for left-hand drive vehicles have been established as described below.

The service procedures for the front and rear disc brakes have been changed since they had been
replaced by a different type.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

1. Turn up the carpet, etc under the brake pedal.
2. Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated. If the brake
pedal height is not within the standard value, follow the
procedure below.
Standard value: 163.5 –166.5 mm
(1) Disconnect the stop lamp switch connector.
(2) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the operating
rod with pliers (with the operating rod lock nut
loosened), until the correct brake pedal height is
obtained.
(3) Secure by tightening the lock nut of the operating
rod.
(4) Push the stop lamp switch in the direction of the
pedal stroke until it stops. (The switch will slide if
it is pushed firmly.)
(5) Lift up the pedal until the operating rod is fully
extended, and then slide the stop lamp switch back
to the required position. Adjust the position of the
switch by turning it until the distance shown in the
illustration is correct.
(6) Connect the connector of the stop lamp switch.
(7) Check that the stop lamp is not illuminated with the
brake pedal unpressed.
3. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two
or three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the power
brake booster, press the pedal down by hand, and confirm
that the amount of movement before resistance is met
(the free play) is within the standard value range.

AVACUUM HOSE CONNECTION
Insert securely and completely until the vacuum hose at the
engine side contacts the edge of the hexagonal part of the
fitting, and then secure by using the hose clip.
BCLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT BETWEEN BRAKE
BOOSTER PUSH ROD AND PRIMARY PISTON
Calculate clearance A from the B, C and D measurements.
A = B – C – D
Standard value: 0.65–0.85 mm
If the clearance is not within the standard value range, adjust
by changing the push rod length by turning the screw of
the push rod.

The EVOLUTION-V is provided with a lateral acceleration sensor in addition to the longitudinal acceleration
sensor, and the ABS-ECU connector is changed in terminal arrangement. When servicing EVOLUTION-V,
therefore, use the following service procedures.

Code Nos.11, 12, 13 and 14: Wheel speed sensor
(open circuit or short circuit)Probable cause
Code Nos.21, 22, 23 and 24: Wheel speed sensor
Code Nos 11, 12, 13 and 14 are output if the ABS-ECU detects an open circuit or
short-circuit in the (+) wire or (–) wire in any one of the four wheel speed sensors.
Malfunction of wheel speed sensor

Malfunction of wiring harness or connector

Malfunction of ABS-ECU
Code Nos.21, 22, 23 and 24 are output in the following cases.

When there is no input from any one of the four wheel speed sensors when travelling
at 8 km/h or more, even though open circuit can not be verified.

When a chipped or blocked-up ABS rotor is detected and if the anti-lock system
operates continuously because a malfunctioning sensor or a warped ABS rotor
is causing sensor output to drop.
