NOTE:
There are 2 types of oil seal ((1) & (2)). Their shapes are dif-
ferent as shown in the figure but they are both usable.
Special Tool (B) can be used for both oil seals (1) and (2).

the position indicated as (6) in the figure. Make sure to
use special tools indicated below. Failure to observe this
caution will cause oil seal to be deformed and oil leakage
to occur.

3F-4 WHEELS AND TIRES
Dynamic balance, as shown in left figure, is the equal distribution
of weight on each side of the wheel centerline so that when the
tire spins there is no tendency for the assembly to move from side
to side. Wheels that are dynamically unbalanced may cause
shimmy.
GENERAL BALANCE PROCEDURES
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from inside of rim.
Each tire should be inspected for any damage, then balanced according to equipment manufacturer’s recom-
mendation.
OFF-VEHICLE BALANCING
Most electronic off-vehicle balancers are more accurate than the on-vehicle spin balancers. They are easy to
use and give a dynamic (two plane) balance. Although they do not correct for drum or disc unbalance as does
on-vehicle spin balancing, this is overcome by their accuracy, usually to within 1/8 ounce.
ON-VEHICLE BALANCING
On-vehicle balancing methods vary with equipment and tool manufacturers. Be sure to follow each manufac-
turer’s instructions during balancing operation.
1. Heavy spot wheel shimmy [C] : Before correction
2. Balance weights addition point [D] : Corrective weights
3. C/L of spindle
WARNING:
Stones should be removed from the tread in order to avoid operator injury during spin balancing and
to obtain good balance.
WARNING:
Wheel spin should be limited to 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on speedometer.
This limit is necessary because speedometer only indicates one-half of actual wheel speed when one
drive wheel is spinning and the other drive wheel is stopped.
Unless care is taken in limiting drive wheel spin, spinning wheel can reach excessive speeds. This
can result in possible tire disintegration or differential failure, which could cause serious personal
injury or extensive vehicle damage.
CAUTION:
For vehicle equipped with ABS, using on-vehicle balancing method with ignition switch ON may set
malfunction diagnostic trouble code (DTC) of ABS even when system is in good condition.
Never turn ignition switch ON while spinning wheel.

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.
