Rear Final Drive 01R (01AA,01EA,02XA,0A3A,01V,01VA,09LA Transmission)






Driveshaft General Repair Information

General repair instructions. Refer to => [ Components ] Rear Final Drive 01R (01AA,01EA,02XA,0A3A,01V,01VA,09LA Transmission).

The driveshaft may be bent without force up to the stop of the central Constant Velocity (CV) joint. Further bending may cause damage to the joint or to the boots.

Only store and transport the driveshaft extended.

No repair work can be carried out on the driveshaft with the exception of removing, installing and adjusting.

If the driveshaft is only detached at the transmission or from the rear final drive then the driveshaft is to be tied up at the CV joint. The driveshaft may also be bent without force up to the stop of the central CV joint, if necessary.

Prior to removal, mark the position of all parts in relation to each other. Reinstall in the same positions otherwise the imbalance will be excessive; the bearings could be damaged and humming noises may occur.

After removing the driveshaft from the rear final drive, a thick washer that may be located between the shim and the hexagon bolt must not be reinstalled.

If complaints are received (noises, vibrations), it is essential to check the radial run out to drive flange at the rear final drive. A correct adjustment may repair the problem. Refer to => [ Driveshaft Flange Measuring Radial Run Out and Marking ] Service and Repair.
