2006 Toyota Matrix Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to overhaul the axle shaft assembly on 2006 Toyota Matrix?
A: The first step to overhaul the axle shaft assembly includes draining manual transaxle oil with 39.2 Nm torque (400 kgf-cm), and automatic transaxle fluid with 17.5 Nm torque (178 kgf-cm) for 2WD and 49 Nm torque (500 kgf-cm) for 4WD applications. When extracting the RH side unit drain the transfer oil with a torque of 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.). Use SST 09930-00010 to remove the front wheel assembly then the engine under cover LH and front axle hub LH nut under braking conditions. To proceed with the front stabilizer link assembly LH removal, first disconnect it from the shock absorber assembly LH and then separate the speed sensor front LH (W/ABS) from the shock absorber and steering knuckle. Users should apply SST 09628-62011 to remove the tie rod end sub-assembly LH before disconnecting the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No. 1 LH from its ball joint. Remove the front drive shaft assembly LH from the front axle assembly LH by using a plastic hammer but protect the boot and speed sensor rotor from damage. Each step during the front drive shaft assembly LH withdrawal must be performed using SST 09520-01010, 09520-24010 (09520-32040). Keep the oil seal, boot, and dust cover from damage. To service the RH side use identical 2WD and 4WD procedures while draining all necessary transaxle and transfer oil. The front axle assembly LH requires SST 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041) to securely fix it so hub bearings remain protected from damage. A visual examination of the front drive shaft assembly LH requires level positioning and scrutiny for damage to both boot and play from the assemblement. Install and remove inboard joint boot clamps of both 2WD and 4WD types using proper installation tools. Preparation begins with cleaning the LH inboard joint sub-assembly followed by new part installation in sequence while stuffing it with 135-155 grams of grease. Insert the front axis inboard joint boot components while using SST 09240-00020 (09242-00150) for clearance checks. Both front drive shaft assemblies require correct lubrication during installation maintenance followed by alignment checks before proceeding with the same sequence on the right-hand side. The front axle assembly LH along with its lower ball joint and tie rod end together with the speed sensor and front stabilizer link assembly require installation application of specific torque values. To complete installation torque the front axle hub LH nut to 216 Nm. Then stake it and install the front wheel before adding necessary fluids while carrying out required adjustments.
