2004 Toyota Matrix Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to overhaul the axle shaft assembly on 2004 Toyota Matrix?
A: Before beginning the axle shaft assembly overhaul start by draining the manual transaxle oil with a torque of 39.2 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.) and automatic transaxle fluid when using 2WD with 17.5 Nm (178 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.) and when using 4WD with 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.). Removing the RH side requires draining transfer oil according to specifications of 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.). SST 09930-00010 allows the user to loosen the front axle hub LH nut while applying brake pressure to remove the front wheel along with the engine under cover LH. A hammer is required to unstake the nut. Eliminate the front stabilizer link assembly LH from its connection to the shock absorber assembly front LH while simultaneously detaching the speed sensor front LH (with ABS) that links to the shock absorber and steering knuckle. The LH side tie rod end should be removed with SST 09628-62011 after which you can separate the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No. 1 LH from its lower ball joint. Use a plastic hammer to determine the front drive shaft assembly LH from the front axle assembly LH by keeping the speed sensor and boot and rotor safe from damage. Levitiate the front drive shaft assembly LH using SST 09520-01010, 09520-24010 (09520-32040) while safeguarding against damage to the oil seal, boot or dust cover. On the RH side maintain the same RH type procedures for all layouts after draining necessary oil from both transaxle and transfer system. SST 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041) should be used to fix the front axle assembly LH in order to protect the hub bearing. Check the LH front drive shaft assembly for both boot damage and play during examination while keeping the assembly at level position. Both 2WD and 4WD vehicle types require replacing their inboard joint boot LH clamps which should be done with suitable tools. Before reassembly of the inboard joint sub-assembly LH begins, remove it and clean old grease from the parts. Also mark the alignment to help with reinstallation. For 2WD vehicles install the drive shaft damper in the right position before installing the new part-greased front axle inboard joint sub-assembly LH. Apply both 2WD and 4WD inboard joint boots with clamps while testing their compatibility with SST 09240-00020 (09242-00150). The front drive shaft assemblies must be installed with precise torque specifications for every component while the front axle hub LH nut should be tightened to 216 Nm along with the front wheel assembly at 103 Nm and a fluid inspection and ABS speed sensor check will follow.
