RJ-1062-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:53

On certain 4WD vehicles, the processing measurement for the rear axle shaft is incorrect, and the tightening of the locknut securing the rear brake drum on the shaft is insufficient. For these reasons, a repetition of starts or turning etc. may break the locknut loose. At worst, the locknut comes off, causing the wheel to separate from the frame.

Correction: 
The tightening of the locknuts and the measurement of the rear axle shaft should be checked. If the locknut is loose, the rear axle shaft assembly, the rear brake drum and the locknut should be replaced with new ones. If the locknut is not loose but the measurement of the shaft is incorrect, the rear axle shaft assembly should be replaced with a non-defective item, and the locknut should be replaced with a new one. If the locknut is not loose and the measurement of the shaft is correct, the locknut should be replaced with a new one.
