3F-2 WHEELS AND TIRES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TIRES
This vehicle is equipped with the following tire.
Tire size
: 165/70R14
The tire is of tubeless type. The tire is designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation pressures.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively
rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
WHEELS
Standard equipment wheels are the following steel wheel.
Wheel size
: 14 x 4 1/2 J
REPLACEMENT TIRES
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment type tire should be used. Refer to the “Tire Placard”.
Replacement tires should be of the same size, load range and construction as those originally on the vehicle.
Use of any other size or type tire may affect ride, handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground
clearance and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire having the most tread, to equalize braking traction.
The metric term for tire inflation pressure is the kilo pascal (kPa).
Tire pressures is usually printed in both kPa and psi on the “Tire
Placard”.
Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The chart, shown the table, converts commonly used inflation
pressures from kPa to psi.
REPLACEMENT WHEELS
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have excessive lateral or radial runout, air leak through
welds, have elongated bolt holes, if lug nuts won’t stay tight, or if they are heavily rusted. Wheels with greater
runout than shown in figure below may cause objectional vibrations.
Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim with
offset and mounting configuration. A wheel of improper size or type may affect wheel and bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance and tire clearance to body and chassis.WARNING:
Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires except
in emergencies, because handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WHEEL
REMOVAL
1) Loosen wheel nuts by approximately 180° (half a rotation).
2) Hoist vehicle.
3) Remove wheel.
INSTALLATION
For installation, reverse removal procedure, noting the followings.
Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to proper
torque to avoid bending wheel or brake disc.
Tightening order
: “A”-“B”-“C”-“D”
Tightening torque
Wheel nut (a) : 85 N·m (8.5 kg-m, 61.5 lb-ft) CAUTION:
Never use heat to loosen tight wheel because application
of heat to wheel can shorten life of wheel and damage
wheel bearings.
NOTE:
Before installing wheels, remove any build-up of corro-
sion on wheel mounting surface and brake disc mount-
ing surface by scraping and wire brushing. Installing
wheels without good metal-to-metal contact at mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen, which can later
allow a wheel to come off while vehicle is moving.

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.
