2006 Toyota Highlander Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to Service and Repair the Axle Shaft Assembly on 2006 Toyota Highlander?
A: The front drive shaft servicing process begins with installation of the new hole snap ring onto the inner LH shaft then the new hole snap ring on the inner RH shaft for vehicles with 4WD. Begin by wrapping the drive shaft spline with vinyl tape to safeguard it before using clamp (A) No. 2 followed by the boot (B) and clamp (C) while packing the joint shaft and outboard boot with grease. Use Special Service Tool: 09521-24010 to tighten outboard joint boot No. 2 clamp while maintaining proper torque values and check the clearance with Special Service Tool: 09240-00020 which should be less than or equal to 0.8 mm (0.031 inch). Perform the same clamping process again on the outboard joint boot clamp. Install the drive shaft damper onto the drive shaft with correct positioning while using the drive shaft damper RH clamp setup the same way as the earlier procedure steps. The inboard joint shaft assembly should be installed by first placing the inboard joint boot clamp (A) then boot (B) followed by No. 2 clamp (C) while using the matchmarks for alignment and tapping the tripod onto the outboard joint shaft with a brass bar and hammer but avoiding the roller. Wrapping a new front inner shaft snap ring comes before applying grease to both the inboard joint shaft and boot while performing the joint assembly installation onto the outboard joint shaft assembly. Secure the inboard joint boot by applying the inboard joint boot No. 2 clamp together with Special Service Tool: 09521-24010 and verify the boot clearance following the previous measurement procedure. Screwdriver and pliers should be used to tighten the inboard joint LH No. 2 clamp. Check the front drive shaft assembly for rupture before installation by covering the spline with ATF while aligning the splines. Install the newly provided bearing bracket hole snap ring together with bolt for the front drive shaft assembly RH while applying the correct torque values. For both 2AZ-FE and 4WD models follow the installation procedures while prioritize protecting the seals and boots from damage. Attach the front axle assembly LH without harming either the outboard joint boot or speed sensor rotor before setting the specified lower ball joint torque to the front suspension arm. The tie rod end must be fitted to the steering knuckle after installing a fresh cotter pin. The speed sensor should then be put onto the steering knuckle and shock absorber keeping the sensor free from any foreign particles. Install the front stabilizer link assembly LH along with axle hub LH nut and front wheel while using the correct torques and add automatic transaxle fluid and transfer oil for 4WD before performing front wheel alignment inspection and adjusting the wheel alignment and ABS speed sensor signal check.
