2006 Toyota Highlander Axle Shaft Parts Q&A
Q: How to Service and Repair the Axle Shaft Assembly on 2006 Toyota Highlander?
A: You should drain the automatic transaxle fluid first before servicing or repairing the front drive shaft assembly by taking out the drain plug and gasket. Reinstallation requires a new gasket which must be torqued to 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.). A complete transfer oil drain should be performed on 4WD vehicles as well. Service technicians should remove the front wheel as well as the front axle hub LH nut with Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 and a hammer to unstake the nut so it completely loosens without damaging the drive shaft screw. Next, detach the front stabilizer link assembly LH by removing its nut followed by potential use of a hexagon wrench (6 mm) to stabilize the stud. The detachment includes removing the speed sensor front LH bolt and clip while protecting the sensor from damage before removing the cotter pin and nut from the tie rod end sub-assembly LH. Use a plastic hammer on the front axle assembly LH while removing it to prevent damaging the boot and speed sensor rotor before you remove the No. 1 front suspension arm sub-assembly lower by taking out its bolt and two nuts. Detach the LH front drive shaft assembly using Special Service Tools: 09520-01010, 09520-24010 (09520-32040) but protect the transaxle case oil seal alongside inboard joint boot and drive shaft dust cover from any damage. The removal method for front drive shaft assembly RH depends on engine type where 3MZ-FE requires bearing brake hole snap ring removal and bolt removal while 2AZ-FE entails two bolt removal leading to drive shaft and center bearing bracket extraction and 4WD needs identical LH side tools alongside transaxle and transfer oil drainage before assembly to stop mixing. The disassembly requires using pliers and screwdrivers to detach each of the front axle inboard joint boot LH clamp No. 2 and front axle inboard joint boot LH No. 2 clamp before separating the inboard joint boot from its assembly. To remove the front drive inboard side assembly LH you should first cleanse all grease then mark the parts along with removing the snap ring using a snap ring expander tool. After removing the inboard joint boot and its clamps you should proceed to detach the front drive shaft damper clamps along with the actual damper itself. Open the clamps connecting the outboard joint boot while cleaning all grease from the outboard joint before removal. The technician must use Special Service Tool: 09950-00020 with a press to remove the snap ring from the drive shaft front hole LH along with the drive shaft dust covers. During this operation the inboard joint assembly must be handled with care. A press should be used to extract the drive shaft bearing snap ring case sub-assembly together with the bearing case sub-assembly of the 2AZ-FE model while maintaining the inboard joint assembly from falling. Attain Special Service Tool: 09527-10011 and a press to extract the front drive shaft bearing from the 3MZ-FE model. Check LH front drive shaft assembly for radial directional play at its outboard joint as well as confirm inboard joint fluid boot damage and its smooth movement. After assembling 3MZ-FE front drive shaft bearing install it using Special Service Tool: 09726-40010, 09527-10011 and a press while confirming complete insertion. Secure the front drive shaft RH hole snap ring together with the dust cover while confirming that the center drive shaft tip distance to dust cover measurement falls within 26.8 to 27.4 mm (1.0551 to 1.0787 inch). The 2AZ-FE dust cover installation should be done after the drive shaft bearing and snap ring case sub-assembly to achieve a 0.5 plus or minus 0.5 mm (0.020 plus or minus 0.020 inch) specified distance. Complete the installation of dust covers by insuring both the RH and LH sides are totally installed without sustaining any damage.
