The installation of the 2ZR-FE front drive shaft assembly starts with placing new front drive shaft hole snap ring LH onto the front drive inboard joint assembly before you repeat the same steps for the RH side. You should put together the front drive shaft assembly LH by aligning its inboard joint splines while using a brass bar and hammer to install it correctly. This process requires the end gap of the front drive inboard joint hole snap ring to face downward toward the ground while keeping the oil seal and inboard joint boot safe from damage. Check the drive shaft installation by examining reaction forces together with sounds before repeating this procedure on the RH side. Insert the drive shaft spline into the front axle assembly LH by pushing the axle assembly from the vehicle while ensuring both minimal damage and less than needed slice of the outboard joint boot remains. Check the front
Speed Sensor for alien material during this process. Repeat this for the RH side. The front lower suspension arms LH and RH installations must be followed by connecting the tie rod end sub-assemblies LH and RH before installing the front stabilizer link assemblies LH and RH. Performs the front speed sensor connection steps for both TMC Made and non-TMC Made versions while applying the same front-side procedures. The threaded drive shaft and front axle shaft nut components require cleaning with non-residue solvent before adding a new front axle shaft nut through a 30 mm socket wrench that should be tightened to 216 Nm (2203 kgf-cm, 160 ft-lbf) while sealing with a chisel and hammer on both sides. Perform the same procedure on the RH side before torquing front wheels to 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). Both transmission systems need the addition of manual transaxle oil for manuals and automatic transaxle fluid for auto transaxles before leak inspection begins. Under the engine cover both LH and RH inspect and align the front wheels properly while checking the VSC-enabled and VSC-disabled speed sensor signals.
