Note
Be sure to install the clamp on the inboard joint side in the correct position.
| *a | Turn |
| *b | Hold |
Place SST onto the damper clamp.
Tighten SST so that the damper clamp is pinched.
Note
Do not overtighten SST.
Using SST, adjust the clearance of the damper clamp.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0.5 to 1.5 mm (0.0197 to 0.0591 in.) |
If the measured value exceeds the specified value, retighten the clamp.
INSTALL FRONT DRIVE INBOARD JOINT ASSEMBLY LH

Install new parts to the outboard joint shaft in the following order.
Inboard joint boot clamp
Inboard joint boot
No. 2 axle inboard joint boot clamp
Remove the protective tape.
Place the beveled side of the tripod axial spline toward the outboard joint.
Align the matchmarks placed before removal.
| *a | Matchmark |
Using a brass bar and hammer, tap the tripod onto the drive shaft.
Note
Do not tap the rollers.
Be sure to install the tripod in the correct direction.
Pack the inboard joint shaft and boot with grease from the boot kit.
| Standard grease capacity |
|---|
| 155 to 171 g (5.47 to 6.03 oz.) |
