TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR STRUT ROD ASSEMBLY

1. 

   Check that the identification mark of the rear strut rod assembly is positioned on the inner side of the vehicle.

2. Temporarily install the rear strut rod assembly with the 2 bolts and the 2 nuts.

   Note:

   Since stopper nuts are used, temporarily tighten the bolts.

INSPECT REAR AXLE HUB BEARING LOOSENESS

1. 

   Using a dial indicator, check for looseness near the center of the axle hub.

   Maximum looseness
   0 mm (0 in.)

   Note:

   Ensure that the dial indicator is set perpendicular to the measurement surface.

   If the looseness exceeds the maximum, replace the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

INSPECT REAR AXLE HUB RUNOUT

1. 

   Using a dial indicator, check for runout on the surface of the axle hub outside the hub bolt.

   Maximum runout
   0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)

   Note:

   Ensure that the dial indicator is set perpendicular to the measurement surface.

   If the runout exceeds the maximum, replace the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

STABILIZE SUSPENSION

1. 

   Jack up the rear axle carrier, placing a wooden block underneath to avoid damage. Apply load to the suspension so that the installed bolt of the rear No. 1 suspension arm (inner side) is horizontally aligned with the center of the rear axle hub.

   CAUTION:

   Do not jack up the rear axle carrier subassembly 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 subassembly is jacked up, apply additional load to the vehicle such as by having a person sit in the rear seat.

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