FRONT DRIVE SHAFT BOOT

9.

Install the boot securely into grooves (indicated by “*” marks)
shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

If grease adheres to the boot mounting surface (indicated
by “*” mark) on the shaft or joint sub-assembly, boot may
come off. Remove all grease from the surface.

10. To prevent the deformation of the boot, adjust the boot installa-

tion length (L) to the specified value shown below by inserting
the suitable tool into the inside of the boot from the large diame-
ter side of the boot and discharging the inside air.

CAUTION:

• If the boot mounting length is outside the standard, it may cause breakage in the boot.
• Be careful not to touch the inside of the boot with a tip of tool.

11. Secure the ends of the boot with boot bands using the boot band

crimping tool (A) [SST: KV40107300 (

)].

CAUTION:

Never reuse boot band.

NOTE:
Secure boot band so that dimension (A) meets the specification
as shown in the figure.

12. Secure joint sub-assembly and shaft, and then make sure that

they are in the correct position when rotating boot. Install them
with boot band when boot installation positions become incor-
rect.

CAUTION:

Never reuse boot band.

13. Insert drive shaft to wheel hub and bearing assembly, and then

temporarily tighten wheel hub lock nut.

CAUTION:

• The drive shaft is press-fit. When assembling the shaft, never press it, but pull it until fully

seated by tightening the wheel hub lock nut.

• Check that anticorrosive oil is applied to the thread of the drive shaft. If not, apply appropriate oil

such as engine oil. 

• If sufficient oil is not applied to the thread of the drive shaft, the wheel hub lock nut may be

seized and the tightening torque reaches the specified limit prematurely. It may cause looseness
or abnormal noises.

14. Install steering knuckle to upper link. Refer to 

FAX-16, "Exploded View"

.

15. Install steering outer socket to steering knuckle. Refer to 

ST-26, "Exploded View"

16. Tighten the wheel hub lock nut to the specified torque, and install cotter pin. Refer to 

FAX-16, "Exploded

View"

.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut. Never use a power tool.
• Never reuse cotter pin.
• Bend it at the root sufficiently to prevent any looseness.
