Axle Assembly, Passenger Side

The procedure to remove and install the axle shaft begins with supporting the hub bearing using Special Service Tool: 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041) to protect it from damage when the weight of the vehicle is applied. When disconnecting the drive shaft from the axle hub you need to exercise caution to safeguard the ABS speed sensor rotor serrations. Start the process by loosening the front wheel nut to 103 Nm then remove both front wheel caps along with the engine under cover before draining the ATF. Use Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 with a hammer to unstake the drive shaft lock nut before removing it under break application conditions with a torque of 216 Nm (2,200 kgf-cm, 159 ft. lbs.). The process requires testing the nut with 49 Nm torque when detaching the tie rod end from the steering knuckle and only tightening the nut more if mismatched holes in a new cotter pin assembly occur before torquing beyond 60 degrees. Remove the tie rod end by applying Special Service Tool: 09628-62011. Disassembly of the lower suspension arm lower ball joint requires removing both nuts and bolt with 142 Nm (1,450 kgf-cm, 105 ft. lbs.) torque specification. The axle hub connection with drive shaft requires a plastic hammer to separate them in a way that avoids boot and ABS speed sensor rotor damage. First isolate the drive shaft using Special Service Tools 09520-01010, 09520-24010 (09520-32040) while ensuring no harm comes to the signature oil seal and dust cover. For the installation process apply gear oil to inboard joint shaft sliding surfaces along with differential case areas followed by inserting the snap ring facing downward before verifying the inboard joint shaft touch point with the pinion shaft. inspect the affected areas to verify that a manual drive shaft removal is impossible and the axial play measures between 2 - 3 mm (0.08 - 0.12 inch). Check the ABS speed sensor signal as well as front wheel alignment at the end of the inspection process.

Begin by checking the drive shaft for play in the outboard joint, ensuring the inboard joint slides smoothly in the thrust direction, and verifying there is no play in the radial direction of the inboard joint.

Ensure the hub bearing is supported with the Special Service Tool: 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041) if the vehicle weight must be placed on it.
