Installation of Front Axle Hub & Phase Matching Procedure
INSTALLATION OF FRONT AXLE HUB1. INSTALL STEERING KNUCKLE WITH AXLE HUB TO LOWER ARM
Temporarily install the steering knuckle to the lower arm.
2. INSTALL STEERING KNUCKLE TO SHOCK ABSORBER
CAUTION: Apply engine oil to the threads of the two nuts.
(a) Connect the steering knuckle to the shock absorber lower bracket.
(b) Insert the bolts from the rear side and align the matchmarks of the camber adjusting cam.
(c) Torque the two nuts.
Torque: 2,100 kg-cm (152 ft.lbs. 206 N-m)
3. CONNECT TIE ROD TO STEERING KNUCKLE
Torque the castle nut and secure it with a new cotter pin.
Torque: 500 kg-cm (36 ft.lbs. 49 N-m)
4. TORQUE STEERING KNUCKLE TO LOWER ARM
Torque: 1,150 kg-cm (83 ft.lbs. 113 N-m)
5. INSTALL DISC ROTOR TO AXLE HUB MAKING SURE PHASE MATCH MARKS ARE ALIGNED
NOTE: Be sure that contact surfaces are free of foreign material.
The following procedure is very important and should not for any reason be omitted during repair procedure.
Phase Matching Procedure
1. Check the position of the rotor to ensure that the match marks on the rotor and hub are aligned (see Figure A below).
2. Install the lug nuts and torque them using a star pattern to 25 ft.lbs.
3. Mount a magnetic base dial indicator as shown in figure B below and measure runout at a point 10 mm from the outside edge of the rotor (spec - 0.0015 in (0.038 mm)).
4. If rotor runout exceeds specification, remove the rotor and check for foreign material on the hub and rotor contact surfaces.
5. If foreign material is not the source of the excessive runout, reposition the rotor by rotating it clockwise to the next wheel lug. Re-torque lug nuts and recheck runout.
6. The above phase matching procedure should be repeated until runout is within specifications.
1. INSTALL BRAKE CALIPER TORQUE PLATE
Install the torque plate and torque the mounting bolts.
Torque: 900 kg-cm (65 ft.lbs. 88 N-m).
2. INSTALL NEW BRAKE PADS
(a) Install the new brake pads with all shims and anti-squeal springs in place
A: Slotted anti-squeal shim
B: Chrome finish anti-squeal shim
C: Black finish anti-squeal shim
D: V-shaped anti-rattle springs
(always use new springs supplied)
3. CHECK VIN NUMBER
(a) If the Camry was produced between Aug. 1985 and Nov. 1985 you will need to check the VIN number on page one of this TSB. If the VIN number falls within the range specified, caliper assemblies will need to be replaced as described in procedure B.
4. INSTALL CALIPERS
Install disc brake caliper, torque the caliper mounting bolts to 250 kg-cm (18 ft.lbs).
5. INSTALL BEARING LOCK NUT, LOCK NUT CAP AND COTTER PIN
(a) Torque the bearing lock nut while depressing the brake pedal.
Torque: 1.900 kg-cm (137 ft.lbs. 186 N-m)
(b) Install the adjusting nut cap and install a new cotter pin with pliers.
6. BALANCE TIRES
Note: Make sure that the mounting surface of the wheel is free from rust and foreign material.
(a) Balance all four tire and wheel assemblies to within 5 grams using an off the car dynamic wheel balancer.
7. RECHECK BALANCE
(a) Recheck the balance of all four tire and wheel assemblies a second time to insure accuracy.
8. INSTALL THE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES.
(a) Torque the lug nuts using a star pattern as shown in the figure to 35 ft.lbs. (47 N-m). Then retorque to 75 ft.lbs. (103 N-m).
Warning: Do not use an air impact wrench to tighten lug nuts.
