7. Install bearing cap with inner bearing and adjusting shim.
Before installing seal guard, scraper, grease seal and support-
ing ring (as a unit), apply approx. 50 g (1.76 oz) of wheel bear-
ing grease to perimeters shown in ®gure at left.
Slits located in scraper and supporting ring should point
straight downward when installed.
8. When installing grease seal guard, adjust so painted surface is
visible.
Install knuckle ¯ange stopper bolt and nut on stopper side of
axle case.
After installing tie rod, adjust it to speci®ed steering angle
using turning radius gauge, then tighten with lock nut.
Knuckle Flange Grease Seal
To replace only knuckle ¯ange grease seal, proceed as follows.
REMOVAL
1. Turn steering wheel to both the extreme right and left, and
remove grease seal guard and scraper from knuckle ¯ange.
2. Extract grease seal and remove it by cutting it from axle case.

INSTALLATION
1. Cut off a part of new grease seal and ®ll lip portion with grease.
Then insert grease seal into axle case.
Cut grease seal so that cut surface is straight.
2. Apply adhesive to cut surface of grease seal.
Install grease seal so that its cut surface is above knuckle
¯ange.
Be sure not to allow adhesive to protrude beyond cut surface
of grease seal.
3. Install scraper and grease seal guard on knuckle ¯ange.
After replacing grease seal, adjust steering wheel to speci®ed
turning angle with a turning radius gauge. Then tighten lock
nut.
4. When installing grease seal guard, adjust so painted surface is
visible.

Inspection
Check wheel shaft for signs of binding when turned in a twisting
motion. Also check for cracks or damage.
Installation
+Before positioning drive shaft in axle case, pack shaft joint with
recommended grease. Refer to MA section (``Fluids and
Lubricants'', ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'').
+Install drive shaft.
Insert the drive shaft with the ¯at surface facing up.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Support front axle case with jack.
2. Remove both upper and lower sides ®xing nuts.
INSPECTION
Except for nonmetallic parts, clean all parts with suitable solvent
and dry with compressed air.
Use compressed air to blow dirt and dust off of nonmetallic parts.
+Check for oil leakage and cracks. Replace if necessary.
+Check piston rod for cracks, deformation and other damage.
Replace if necessary.
+Check rubber parts for wear, cracks, damage and deformation.
Replace if necessary.
Stabilizer Bar
REMOVAL
+Remove stabilizer bar connecting bolts and clamp bolts.
INSPECTION
+Check stabilizer bar for twist and deformation.
Replace if necessary.
+Check rubber bushing for cracks, wear and deterioration.
Replace if necessary.
INSTALLATION
+Install stabilizer bar with ball joint socket properly placed.
Coil Spring
INSPECTION
Visually check for cracks or damage. If faulty, replace.
Ensure that springs are installed correctly. Incorrect installa-
tion will cause vehicle not set in horizontal posture.

Leading Arm
INSPECTION
Check for cracks, bends or damage. Also check bushing.
If bushing is faulty, replace it using suitable tool.
When installing bushing, make sure that it is positioned as shown.
Panhard Rod
INSPECTION
+Check for cracks or other damage. Replace if necessary.
Panhard rod bushing
Removal
+Using a press and suitable tool as shown in ®gure at left,
remove bushing from vehicle side.
+Using a ¯at-bladed screwdriver, pry bushing out of axle case.
Installation
+Using suitable tool shown in ®gure at left, gradually press bush-
ing into place.
Always install new bushing. Do not tap end face of bushing
directly with a hammer. Apply soap water to outer wall of bush-
ing before installation.
