>>C<< Washer/Rear Driveshaft Nut Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel bearing before fully tightening the rear driveshaft nut. Otherwise, the rear wheel bearing may be broken.
- Be sure to install the rear driveshaft washer in the illustrated direction.
- Using special tool MB990767, tighten the rear driveshaft nut. At this time, tighten the nut to the specified lower limit torque so that the pin hole may align with cotter pin.
Tightening torque: 144 - 176 N.m (107 - 129 ft-lb)
- If the pin hole does not align with the pin, tighten the driveshaft nut [less than 176 N.m (129 ft-lb)] and find the nearest hole, then fit the cotter pin.
