How to install the axle shaft assembly and related components on Toyota Highlander?

The LH front drive shaft assembly requires alignment of its splines and insertion using a brass bar and hammer at the shaft snap ring opening positioned downward. Installing this part must avoid damage to drive shaft components such as the dust cover, boot, and oil seal while keeping the assembly flat. To put the front drive shaft assembly (right-hand) in 2WD operation you must set both the new bearing bracket hole snap ring and bolt. Tighten them to 32 Nm (326 kgf-cm, 24 ft-lbf) while keeping safe distance from the boot and oil seal. The specific installation steps work the same for the right-hand front drive shaft assembly when using 4WD vehicles. Proceed by putting in the front axle assembly LH then the No. 1 front suspension lower arm LH, tie rod assembly LH, front speed sensor LH, and front stabilizer link assembly LH. Use a solvent to clean oil and foreign matter from threaded parts of the drive shaft before putting on a new axle hub nut. Tighten the nut with a 30 mm socket wrench to 294 Nm (2996 kgf-cm). Then use a chisel and hammer to strike the nut in several places to secure it properly. Place the front wheels in position and fasten them at 103 Nm torque levels (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). Add automatic transaxle fluid before verifying its level. Before starting 4WD operation insert the transfer drain plug and No. 1 transfer case plug before measuring transfer oil levels. Put No. 2 and No. 1 engine under covers then install the engine under cover assembly. Complete the process by setting the front wheel alignment and inspecting the speed sensor output of the ABS system.

How to remove and replace the axle shaft assembly on Toyota Highlander?

When replacing the axle shaft assembly start by aligning front drive shaft assembly LH splines then install it using a brass bar and hammer setup with the snap ring opening at the bottom to prevent dust cover, boot, and oil seal damage. After that install both front drive shaft assemblies with the RH piece first then add the bearing bracket hole snap ring and bolt that needs 32 Nm (330 kgf-cm, 24 ft-lbf) torque while maintaining boot or oil seal protection. The service order requires installation of the front axle assembly LH followed by the No. 1 front suspension lower arm LH and then tie rod assembly LH followed by front speed sensor LH and finally front stabilizer link assembly LH. A socket wrench has 30 mm sockets to tighten a new axle hub nut to 294 Nm (2996 kgf-cm, 216 ft-lbf) torque after cleaning the threaded components with a non-residue solvent. The nut should be staked using a chisel with a hammer. Before adding automatic transaxle fluid install the front wheels at 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) torque and place the under covers in the order of No. 2 engine under cover then No. 1 engine under cover followed by floor under cover LH. Complete the procedure by performing front wheel alignment adjustment while checking the status of the ABS speed sensor signal.

The Axle Shaft of Toyota Highlander cars are important modules that transmit the power generated by the differential to the drive wheels so that it can rotate independently and therefore improve the tractive forces. These steel shafts could be of different types, where the conventional axle with no independent suspension system are solid for trucks and old models of cars while those that have independent suspension systems have halfshafts. Different bearings called differentials are located in the solid axle, while axle shafts are also located in the solid axle, and half shafts connect the transaxle to the wheels. Even if they have been designed not to wear, axle shafts will wear out with time owning to contact with obstacles leading to problems such as noise and vibration while worn seals cause loss of lubricant and contamination of the brake. In general, the Axle Shaft has the functions of bearing the vehicle weight and transmitting torque during rotation besides ensuring the wheels remain in proper alignment in Toyota Highlander vehicles.
