How to remove and install a driveaxle on 1997 through 2001 Toyota Avalon?

To remove the axle shaft, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Set the parking brake and remove the wheel cover or hub cap. Remove the cotter pin and the bearing nut lock from the axle shaft/hub nut. Break loose the axle shaft/hub nut but leave it in place. Loosen the lug nuts on the front wheel, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the wheel and any engine splash shields that may be in the way. Remove the axle shaft/hub nut. Then, remove the nuts and bolt securing the ball joint to the control arm and pry the control arm down to separate the components. To loosen the axle shaft from the hub splines, tap the end of the axle shaft with a soft-faced hammer or a hammer and a brass punch. If necessary, remove the brake disc and push the axle shaft from the hub with a two-jaw puller. Place a drain pan underneath the transaxle as a precaution. Remove the case protector if present. Pull out the steering knuckle to detach the axle shaft from the hub. If removing the right axle shaft, remove the center-bearing lock bolt and the snap ring, then pull the splined inner end of the shaft out of the differential side gear. For the left axle shaft, carefully pry the inner CV joint out of the transaxle. If the vehicle needs to be moved without the axle shaft, secure the hub with a large bolt and washers. For installation, follow the reverse procedure of removal with the following additional points:When installing the left axle shaft or the intermediate shaft on any model, push the axle shaft sharply inward to seat the retaining ring on the inner CV joint into the groove in the differential side gear.For the right axle shaft/intermediate shaft assembly, tighten the center bearing lock bolt to the specified torque.Install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the correct torque.Tighten the axle shaft/hub nut to the specified torque, then install the nut lock and a new cotter pin.Check the transaxle lubricant (for manual transaxle) or differential lubricant (for automatic transaxle) and add if necessary to reach the proper level. Finally, check the intermediate shaft bearing for smooth operation and replace it if it feels rough or sticky.

What is the function of the driveaxles and CV joints in a transaxle system on 1997 through 2001 Toyota Avalon?

The power from the transaxle is transmitted to the wheels through a pair of axle shafts, with the inner end of each axle shaft directly splined to the differential side gears. The outer ends of the axle shafts are splined to the axle hubs and locked in place by a large nut. The left side axle shaft is shorter, while the right side axle shaft is longer and equipped with an intermediate shaft supported by a bearing support. The inner ends of the axle shafts have sliding constant velocity joints capable of both angular and axial motion, while the outer joints are capable of angular but not axial movement. The boots should be inspected periodically for damage and leaks, and torn CV Boot must be replaced immediately to prevent damage. Symptoms of worn or damaged CV joints include clicking noises in turns, clunking when accelerating after coasting, and vibration at highway speeds. Checking for wear in the CV joints and axle shafts involves rotating each axle in both directions while feeling for play indicating worn splines or sloppy CV joints, as well as checking for cracks, dents, and distortion in the axle shafts.

Toyota Avalon Axle Shaft

The Axle Shaft of Toyota Avalon automobiles is another part that enables the distribution of torque from the differential to the drive wheels in a manner that enables independent rotation for the purpose of imparting more ground compliance. These steel shafts include; solid axles for trucks and older models of cars, and half shafts for vehicles with independent suspensions. L318 also has a solid axle for the differential and axle shafts and half Shafts for the transaxle to the wheels. Axle shafts wear out because of contact with obstacles, which causes problems like noise and vibration; halfshafts may require repair because their CV Joints may have worn out or the boots might be torn. Altogether, the Axle Shaft has functions in bearing the vehicle load, power transmission and ensuring the correct rotational position of the wheel system in Toyota Avalon vehicles.
