2007 Toyota Matrix Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to service and repair the axle shaft assembly on 2007 Toyota Matrix?
A: The first step for servicing or repairing the front drive shaft assembly involves draining transaxle oil from manual gearboxes and automatic fluid accompanied by front wheel and engine under cover LH removal. Begin by administering Special Service Tool 09930-00010 and tapping the nut with a hammer until the front axle hub LH nut becomes fully unstaked to prevent drive shaft screw damage. When the ball joint rotates with the nut while separating the front stabilizer link assembly LH from the shock absorber assembly front LH, a hexagon wrench (6 mm) should be used to stabilize the stud. You should first unplug the speed sensor LH along with its flexible hose from the front shock absorber assembly LH and steering knuckle before separating the tie rod end sub-assembly LH through use of Special Service Tool: 09628-62011. The front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No. 1 LH needs removal from its lower ball joint position before application of a plastic hammer to separate the front drive shaft assembly LH from the front axle assembly LH while maintaining speed sensor rotor and boot protection. Use Special Service Tools 09520-01010 and 09520-24010 (09520-32040) to remove the front drive shaft assembly LH but protect all elements including oil seal, boot and dust cover. Support the hub bearing with Special Service Tool 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041) to prevent vehicle weight damage. The inboard joint boot LH clamp should be detached by using needle nose pliers to remove the No. 2 front axle clamp before cutting the clamp and separating the inboard joint boot from the joint sub-assembly LH. Bad grease must first be cleaned from the inboard joint sub-assembly LH and matchmarks must be placed before removing its inner LH shaft snap ring with a snap ring expander. You must make use of both a brass bar and a hammer to extract the tripod joint assembly from the outboard joint shaft assembly but always avoid hitting the roller surface. Perform drive shaft damper (RH drive shaft) disassembly only when servicing the right-hand side and check both sides of the front drive shaft assembly for play and boot damage while maintaining the assembly at level position. Apply Special Service Tool: 09527-10011 to install the front drive shaft dust cover LH after which you should repeat the process for the RH side. Before continuing with assembly place the new LH hole snap ring. For the RH side make sure you determine the drive shaft damper distance while checking the clamp positioning through the use of Special Service Tool: 09240-00020 (09242-00150) which should show a clear space of 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less. During installation of the front axle inboard joint sub-assembly LH it is essential to first apply vinyl tape around the spline before placing the boot and using Special Service Tool: 09521-24010 to secure the clamps. To finish the installation put in the front drive shaft assembly LH and RH by placing the hole snap ring opening downward for proper assembly followed by lower ball joint LH then tie rod end sub-assembly LH, front speed sensor LH, front stabilizer link assembly LH and finally the front axle hub LH nut which requires staking after installation. Installation of the front wheel should be followed by adding and checking manual and automatic transaxle fluid levels while performing front wheel alignment adjustments and ABS speed sensor signal inspection.
