4A-2 FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
COMPONENT
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of front drive shaft. For right side drive shaft of 2WD vehi-
cle, a constant velocity tripod joint on the differential side. For left side drive shaft of every type vehicles and
right side drive shaft of 4WD vehicle, a constant velocity double offset joint is used on the differential or transfer
side. The drive shaft can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset joint in the extension/contraction direc-
tion.
DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS TABLE
DRIVE SHAFT BOOT CHECK
Inspect drive shaft boot for tear.
If even a small tear is noted, replace with new one. Condition Possible Cause Correction
Abnormal Noise
Worn or breakage drive shaft joint Replace.

ASSEMBLY
For Tripod Joint Type Drive Shaft
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and what is
found through visual check of component parts after disassembly,
prepare replacing parts and proceed to reassembly.
Make sure that wheel side joint assembly (1) and tripod joint
housing (2) are washed thoroughly and air dried, and boots (3)
are cleaned with cloth if they are to be reused.
“A” : Black grease (about 60 - 80 g/2.1 - 2.8 oz)
“B” : Orange grease (about 85 - 105 g/3.0 - 3.7 oz)
1) Wash disassembled parts (except boots). After washing, dry
parts completely by blowing air.
2) Clean boots with cloth. DO NOT wash boots in degreaser,
such as gasoline or kerosene, etc. Washing in degreaser
causes deterioration of boot.
3) Apply grease to wheel side joint. Use specified grease in
tube in wheel side boot set.
4) Install wheel side boot on shaft.
CAUTION:
To ensure full performance of joint as designed, be sure
to distinguish between two types of grease in repair set
and apply specified volume to respective joint. Refer to
the followings for identification of the grease.
