Standards as part of the inspection process and for communicating
their findings to their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not
satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers mediation and arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE and other non-
profit organizations. MAP conducted pilot programs in twelve states
before announcing the program nationally in October, 1998. During the
pilots, participating repair shops demonstrated their adherence to the
Pledge and Standards and agreed to follow the UICS in communicating
the results of their inspection to their customers. To put some
"teeth" in the program, an accreditation requirement for shops was
initiated. The requirements are stringent, and a self-policing method
has been incorporated which includes the "mystery shopping" of
outlets.
We welcome you to join us as we continue our outreach... with
your support, both the automotive repair industry and your customers
will reap the benefits. Please visit MAP at our Internet site www.

MAP UNIFORM INSPECTION GENERAL GUIDELINES
OVERVIEW OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
It is MAP policy that all exhaust, brake, steering,
suspension, wheel alignment, drive-line, engine performance and
maintenance, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and
electrical services be offered and performed under the standards and
procedures specified in these sections.
Before any service is performed on a vehicle, an inspection
of the appropriate system must be performed. The results of this
inspection must be explained to the customer and documented on an
inspection form. The condition of the vehicle and its components will
indicate what services/part replacements may be "Required" or
"Suggested". In addition, suggestions may be made to satisfy the
requests expressed by the customer.
When a component is suggested or required to be repaired or
replaced, the decision to repair or replace must be made in the
customer's best interest, and at his or her choice given the options
available.
This section lists the various parts and conditions that
indicate a required or suggested service or part replacement.
Although this list is extensive, it is not fully inclusive. In
addition to this list, a technician may make a suggestion. However,
any suggestions must be based on substantial and informed experience,
or the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval and must be
documented.
Some conditions indicate that service or part replacement is

1991 DRIVE AXLES
Locking Hubs
Mitsubishi: Montero, Pickup
DESCRIPTION
Automatic hubs are engaged by rotational force of axle shaft
when 4WD is selected at transfer case. Automatic hubs disengage when
2WD is selected or vehicle is driven in Reverse. Cams, brakes and
springs are used to lock or unlock automatic hubs.
Engagement is accomplished through gears and spring actions
within hub. When hub is locked, hub brake engages inner hub, which is
connected to axle shaft by inner splines of hub. Hub brake is
connected to hub body by outer splines.
REMOVAL
1) Hub must be unlocked. To unlock hub, place transfer case
lever in 2H position and move vehicle in Reverse approximately 4-6
feet.
2) Remove cover from locking hub. If hub cover cannot be
loosened by hand, wrap shop towel around cover and use an oil filter
wrench to loosen cover.
3) Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Using
snap ring pliers, remove snap ring and shim from end of axle. Remove
locking hub retaining bolts. Remove locking hub.
INSTALLATION
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply sealant to
contact areas between locking hub assembly and hub/rotor assembly.
Ensure sealant is NOT applied on outer areas of hub/rotor assembly
toward brake contact areas.
2) Align locking hub assembly key area with steering knuckle
key way area. Loosely install locking hub assembly on hub/rotor
assembly. Ensure locking hub assembly fully contacts hub/rotor
assembly.
3) Install locking hub retaining bolts. Tighten bolts to 36-
43 ft. lbs. (49-58 N.m). Using spring scale attached to wheel stud,
measure turning resistance required to rotate hub/rotor assembly.
4) Turning resistance should NOT exceed 3.1 lbs. (1.4 kg). I\
f
turning resistance exceeds specification, check for incorrect
installation of locking hub assembly or components.
5) Install shim and snap ring on drive axle. Rotate drive
axle until maximum end play is obtained. Using a dial indicator, check
drive axle end play.
6) Drive axle end play should be .008-.020" (.20-.51 mm). If\
axle end play is NOT within specification, adjust end play by changing
axle shaft shim. Install hub cover. Tighten hub cover 13-25 ft. lbs.
(18-34 N.m).

WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
Tire specifications are imprinted on the tire side wall. The
recommended cold tire inflation pressures are listed on a label
attached to the rear face of the driver's door. These pressures
provide the best combination of ride comfort, tire wear and stability
under normal conditions.
CAUTION: DO NOT mix tires of different design such as radial ply
with bias or bias-belted tires. Mixing tire types will
adversely affect road handling and may lead to loss of
vehicle control. When using snow tires, they must be used
in set of four for maneuverability and safety. DO NOT use
tire chains on front wheels.
