slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move joint up/down, left/right, and in axial directions. Check for motion that is not smooth and for signifi-
cant looseness.

Check boot for cracks, damage, and leakage of grease.

Disassemble drive shaft and exchange malfunctioning part if
there is a non-standard condition.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Always replace transaxle side oil seal with new one when installing drive shaft.

Installation is the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque refer to FAX-11, "COMPONENT" .
