INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY

1.

With wheel bearing pressed into axle, apply 49,033 N (5, 000 kg, 11, 000 lb) to wheel hub and rotate both
clockwise and counterclockwise 10 times to minimize resistance.

2.

Attach spring balance in the position shown in illustration and
pull at a rate of 10

±

2 rpm to measure rotating torque.

Rotating torque:

      Less than 1.88 N·m (0.19 kg-m, 17 in-lb)

Spring balance reading:

      Less than 18.5 N (1.89 kg, 4.16 lb)

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

●

Move joint up/down, left/right, and in the axial direction. Check
for any rough movement or significant looseness.

●

Check boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease
leakage.

●

If a trouble is found, disassemble drive shaft, and then replace
with new one.
