(16) Hold inner tripod joint and interconnecting
shaft of driveshaft assembly. Remove inner tripod
joint from transaxle, by pulling it straight out of
transaxle side gear and transaxle oil seal (Fig. 14).
When removing tripod joint, do not let spline or
snap ring drag across sealing lip of the tran-
saxle to tripod joint oil seal.
CAUTION: The driveshaft, when installed, acts as a
bolt and secures the front hub/bearing assembly. If
vehicle is to be supported or moved on its wheels
with a driveshaft removed, install a PROPER–SIZED
BOLT AND NUT through front hub. Tighten bolt and
nut to 183 N·m (135 ft. lbs.). This will ensure that
the hub bearing cannot loosen.
INSTALLATION
(1) Thoroughly clean spline and oil seal sealing
surface, on tripod joint. Lightly lubricate oil seal
sealing surface on tripod joint with fresh clean trans-
mission lubricant.
(2) Holding driveshaft assembly by tripod joint and
interconnecting shaft, install tripod joint into tran-
saxle side gear as far as possible by hand (Fig. 14).
(3) Grasp inner tripod joint an interconnecting
shaft. Forcefully push the tripod joint into side gear
of transaxle, until snap ring is engaged with tran-
saxle side gear. Test that snap ring is fully
engaged
with
side
gear
by
attempting
to
remove tripod joint from transaxle by hand. If
snap ring is fully engaged with side gear, tripod
joint will not be removable by hand.
(4) Clean all debris and moisture out of steering
knuckle, in the area were outer C/V joint will be
installed into steering knuckle.
(5) Ensure that front of outer C/V joint which fits
against the face of the hub and bearing is free of
debris and moisture before installing outer C/V joint
into hub and bearing assembly (Fig. 15).
(6) Slide driveshaft back into front hub (Fig. 16).
Then install steering knuckle onto the lower control
arm ball joint stud.
(7) Install the steering knuckle to ball joint stud
castle nut (Fig. 17). Tighten the castle nut to 95 N·m
(70 ft. lbs.).
(8) If equipped with antilock brakes, install the
speed sensor cable on the steering knuckle and
securely tighten bolt (Fig. 18).
(9) Install tie rod end into the steering knuckle.
Start tie rod end to steering knuckle nut onto stud of
tie rod end. While holding stud of tie rod end station-
ary (Fig. 19), tighten tie rod end to steering knuckle
nut. Using a crowfoot and 11/32 socket, tighten the
nut to 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 20).
(10) Install braking disc back on hub and bearing
assembly.
(11) Install disc brake caliper assembly on steering
knuckle. Caliper is installed by first sliding top of
caliper under top abutment on steering knuckle.
