2005 Toyota Matrix Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to overhaul the axle shaft assembly on 2005 Toyota Matrix?
A: The first step for an axle shaft assembly overhaul is draining manual transaxle oil under a 39.2 Nm torque (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft.lbs.) and automatic transaxle fluid under 17.5 Nm (178 kgf-cm, 13 ft.lbs.) for 2WD or 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft.lbs.) for 4WD. It is necessary to drain transfer oil from the RH side only during removal using a 36-foot lb torque of 500 kgf-cm. Decouple the front wheel along with the Engine Under Cover LH and the front axle hub LH nut through Special Service Tool 09930-00010 by applying a hammer to unstake the nut while carefully applying brake pressure. Whenever the ball joint turns while disconnecting the front stabilizer link assembly LH from the shock absorber assembly front LH use a hexagon wrench (6 mm) to stabilize the stud. Remove the speed sensor front LH (with ABS) from the shock absorber assembly and steering knuckle by using Special Service Tool: 09628-62011. Detach the front tie rod end sub-assembly LH. Using a plastic hammer, detach the front drive shaft assembly LH from the front axle assembly LH through the lower No. 1 LH of the separation between front suspension arm sub-assembly while ensuring boot and speed sensor rotor protection. Detach the front drive shaft assembly LH using Special Service Tools: 09520-01010, 09520-24010 (09520-32040) while maintaining safety of the oil seal and boot and dust cover. To detach the RH front drive shaft assembly follow the same methods for 2WD and 4WD by first removing the bearing lock bolt and the hole snap ring. Special Service Tool 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041) should support the front axle assembly LH to avoid hub bearing damage. Examine the LH front drive shaft assembly while it is level for boot damage and play using appropriate inspection methods. For both 2WD and 4WD vehicles use appropriate tools to detach the inboard joint boot LH clamps before separating it from the inboard joint sub-assembly LH. Remove the old grease while applying matchmarks before detaching the inboard joint sub-assembly LH from the outboard joint shaft assembly and removing its inner LH shaft snap ring. The technician must install new components following their appropriate orientation while filling them with specified amounts of grease between 135 to 155 grams. After clamping the inboard joint boot, verify the clearance measures exactly according to specifications. After installation of the front drive shaft assembly LH and RH, use recommended torque values to tighten its components including the front axle hub LH nut up to 216 Nm (2,200 kgf-cm, 159 ft. lbs.) and the front wheel up to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Add the required fluids while inspecting the front wheel alignment and ABS speed sensor signal.
