go. Make the mating marks on the companion 
flange and on the differential carrier.

4. Turn the propeller shaft counterclockwise as far 

as it will go, and measure the amount of distance 
between the mating marks.

Limit: 5 mm

5. If the backlash exceeds the limit value, remove 

the differential carrier assembly and check the 
following.

Final drive gear backlash (Refer to

P.27B-19

Differential gear backlash (Refer to 

P.27B-19

.)

GEAR OIL LEVEL CHECK

M1272001200211

Check that gear oil level is not 8 mm below the 
bottom of filler plug hole.

Specified gear oil:

Hypoid gear oil API classification GL-5 or 

higher

Above 10

WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECK

M1271000900388

1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the 

caliper assembly with a wire and remove the 
brake disc.

2. Fit the dial gauge as shown in the diagram and 

move the hub in the axial direction to measure the 
play.

Limit: 0.05 mm

3. If the play exceeds the limit, the drive shaft nut 

should be tightened to the specified torque and 
check the axial play again.

Tightening torque: 245 

±

 29 N

m

4. Replace the wheel bearing if adjustment cannot 

be made to within the limit. (Refer to GROUP

WHEEL BEARING ROTATION STARTING 
TORQUE AND AXIAL PLAY CHECK

1. Tighten  the following special tools to the specified 

torque.

Spacer (MB991000)

Front hub remover and installer (MB991017)

2. Rotate the rear hub in order to seat the bearing.

3. Measure the wheel bearing rotation starting 

torque by using the following special tools.

Preload socket (MB990326)

Torque wrench (MB990685)

Limit: 1.0 N

m

4. The rotation starting torque must be within the 

limit and wheel bearing must rotate smoothly.

5. Measure to determine whether the wheel bearing 

axial play is within the specified limit or not.

Limit: 0.05 mm

6. If the play is not within the limit range while the nut 

is tightened to 245 

±

 29 N

m, the bearing, trailing 

arm and/or rear hub have probably not been 
installed correctly. Replace the bearing and 
re-install.
