Measurement
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment
manufacturer.
Refer to “Camber, Caster angle and king pin
inclination” table on Main Data and Specifications.

5. Measurement of Side Slippage

When inspection and adjustments of toe-in, camber,
caster and kingpin inclination are completed, check
for side slippage using a side slip tester.
Roll the wheels over the side slip tester as slowly as
possible and take reading on the tester. If the amount
of side slippage is in excess of 5 mm per 1 m, recheck
the wheel alignment.

End and Front Driving
Propeller Shaft (P30, P46)
FVZ Interdifferential Propeller Shaft
(DANA made: Type #1610)
Center Bearing (P60H, P90H and P115HS)
Engine torque is transmitted from the trans-
mission to the rear axle and the front driving axle
through propeller shafts, the center bearing and
universal joint assembly.
The propeller shaft has universal joint and slip
joint that absorb road shock and vibration.
A slip joint is used at the front shaft, forward end
of the rear shaft and the shaft between transmission
and transfer.
PROPELLER SHAFT 4A-3
FSS/FTS Transmission to Transfer Case
Center Bearing (P30, P46 and P60H)
The center bearing is used to support the center
portion of the driveline when 2 or 3 propeller shaft
are coupled together depending on the
wheelbase. The bearing is a ball type and is
mounted in a rubber cushion that is attached to a
frame crossmember.
The universal joint bearings are installed in the
bearing cages which are retained in the yoke by
snap ring or lock plates and bolts.

Installation Steps

3. Differential Carrier Assembly

Before installing the differential carrier assembly to
the axle case, wipe off the oil on the installation
surface with thinner, etc. Then, install it after applying
the whole liquid gasket (Three Bond 1215, LOCTITE
17430 or equivalent) avoiding the position just
opposite to the bolt hole for removing the differential
carrier.
• Apply liquid gasket (LOCTITE 242 or equivalent) to
threads on differential carrier fixing bolts.

 REAR AXLE 4B-17

Disassembly Steps

1. Lock Plate
2. Bearing Cap
Apply a mark to the right and left side bearing caps to
prevent interchanging them.

3. Adjusting Nut
To facilitate installation of the adjusting nuts into
original position apply a mark to the appropriate
position.
As the right and left side adjusting nuts are differently
thick, be sure to mark them during disassembly to
prevent confusion.

4. Side Bearing Outer Race

Keep the bearing caps, adjusting nuts and side
bearing outer races separate to prevent interchanging.

5. Differential Cage and Ring Gear Assembly

Place suitable bar through the axle shaft fitting hole
and lift the differential cage and ring gear assembly,
with a wire set against the bar, using a hoist.

4. When using Belco Bond 402, be sure to thin it with

a solvent (Three Bond 2801 or equivalent) before
application, since the undiluted solution of Belco
Bond 402 is too thick to apply.
The best ratio Belco Bond 402 : Solvent is 5 : 2
(cubic ratio).
