   • Do not twist the rear speed sensor wire when installing.

STABILIZE SUSPENSION

1. 

   Jack up the rear axle carrier sub-assembly, placing a wooden block underneath to avoid damage. Apply load to the suspension so that the rear drive shaft assembly is positioned horizontally.

   CAUTION:

   Do not jack up the rear axle carrier sub-assembly too high as the vehicle may fall.

   Note:

   Do not bend the brake dust cover.

   Tip:
   

   • If the rear drive shaft assembly cannot be positioned horizontally as shown in the illustration even when the rear axle carrier sub-assembly is jacked up, apply additional load to the vehicle such as by having a person sit in the rear seat.

   • Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH side.
