Mitsubishi Outlander GS45X. Manual - part 1506

DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY

TSB Revision

FRONT AXLE

26-27

CAUTION

• Never pull out the driveshaft assembly from the EBJ 

assembly side. Otherwise, the PTJ assembly may be 
damaged. Always pull out from the PTJ side with a 
lever.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal of the 

transaxle is not damaged by the spline part of the drive-
shaft assembly.

3. For driveshafts other than FWD-RH driveshafts, insert a 

lever between the transaxle case or transfer and driveshaft 
assembly, and then pull the driveshaft assembly out from the 
transaxle.

CAUTION

Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing with 
the driveshaft assembly removed. If, however, the vehicle 
weight shall be applied to the bearing (in order to move the 
vehicle), tighten the following special tools MB991000 and 
MB991017 to the specified torque 144 

− 176 N⋅m (107 − 129 

ft-lb).

>>A<< DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, 

because it is magnetized. Make sure that the magnetic 
encoder should not collect metallic particles. Check 
that there is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.

• When installing the driveshaft, make sure that it does 

not contact with the magnetic encoder (integrated with 
the inner oil seal) to avoid damage.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal of the 

transaxle is not damaged by the spline part of the drive-
shaft assembly.

Use a hexagon wrench to install the stabilizer link and strut 
connection nut as shown in the figure.

>>C<< WASHER/DRIVESHAFT NUT 
INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Do not apply the vehicle weight on the front wheel hub 
assembly before fully tightening the driveshaft nut. Other-
wise, the wheel bearing may be broken.
1. Incorporate the driveshaft assembly washer as shown in the 

illustration.

2. Use special tool MB990767 to tighten the driveshaft nuts. At 

this time, tighten the nuts within the specified torque range 
considering the final tightening.

Tightening torque: 144 

− 176 N⋅m (107 − 129 ft-lb)

3. If the pin holes do not align with the pins, tighten the 

driveshaft nut [less than 200 N

⋅m(147 ft-lb)] and find the 

nearest hole then bend the cotter pin to fit it.
