Rear Suspension Fasteners
Check each bolt and nut fastening suspension parts for tightness.
Tighten loose one, if any, to specified torque, referring to “Tighten-
ing Torque Specifications” of this section.
Bearing Retainer and Axle Shaft Oil Seal
Check
When brake drum has been removed, check inside of brake
drum for gear oil leakage.
Also, check backside of brake back plate for oil leakage.If oil
leakage is found, replace defective oil seal.
Whenever it is possible to check oil seal during disassembly,
check its lip for wear.
If oil leakage or worn lip is found, replace defective oil seal.
Bump Stopper and Spring Rubber Seat Check
Inspect for wear and breakage. If found defective, replace.
Wheel Disc, Nut and Bearing Check
Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks. A
disc in badly damaged condition must be replaced.
Check wheel hub nuts for tightness and, as necessary,
retighten to specification.
