Legacy F4-2.5L SOHC (2003)
2. If the tight corner braking still persists, drive the vehicle again in a circle for several laps.

APT MODEL
1. Measure distance "L" from end of extension case and rear drive shaft with ST.
ST 398643600 GAUGE L = Measured value - 15 mm (L = Measured value - 0.59 inch)
A: Measured value
B: ST thickness [15 mm (0.59 inch)]
L: Distance from end of extension case to end of rear drive shaft
2. Measure the distance "l" from the transmission case mating surface to the reduction drive gear end surface with ST1 and ST2.
l = Measured value - 50 mm (l = Measured value - 1.97 inch)
ST1 398643600 GAUGE
ST2 499577000 GAUGE
A: Measured value
B: ST thickness [50 mm (1.97 inch)]
Q: Distance from end of transmission case to end of reduction drive gear
3. Calculation equation:
NOTE: Calculate "H": When clearance is at 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch) and 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch), then select a suitable thrust needle bearing from
the table.
H = (L + 0.45 mm) - l -T
[H = (L + 0.0177 inch) - l - T]
T: Thrust needle bearing thickness
L: Distance from end of extension case to end of rear drive shaft 0.45 mm (0.0177 inch): Gasket thickness
Q: Distance from end of transmission case to end of reduction drive gear
H: Shim clearance 0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.0020 - 0.0098 inch)
Example: When, L= 18.60 mm (0.7323 inch), l = 15.05 mm (0.5925 inch)
Calculation when clearance is 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
H = (18.60 + 0.45 - 15.05 - 0.05 = 3.95
[H = (0.7323 + 0.0177 - 0.5925 - 0.0020 = 0.1555]
Calculation when clearance is 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch)
H = (18.60 + 0.45 - 15.05 - 0.25 = 3.75
H = (0.7323 + 0.0177 - 0.5925 - 0.0098 = 0.1476]
