UAZ PICKUP - Driving Axles

The motor vehicle may be equipped with non serviceable pro-
peller shafts (without grease tting). If this is the case, regularly
check shaft coupling pleated sleeve. Following pleated sleeve
damage, apply to the service centre for replacement.
Driving axles
Check the oil level in the housing, it should reach the lower
edge of the ller orice.
Drain the oil through orice 2 (Fig. 9.15) at the bottom of the
housing by screwing out ller plug 1.
Axial clearance over 0.05 mm in the bearings of the axle drive
pinion is not permitted, as greater clearance would provoke pre-
mature gear teeth wear and that could result in an axle jam. Check
the axial clearance in the bearings by swinging the drive pinion
by universal-joint ange.
Axial clearance in the differential bearings of the nal gear is
not allowed. Check the clearance by swinging of the drive pinion
when the housing cap is removed.
If a gap is detected, the axle should be adjusted. The axle
adjustment is a labor-intensive operation requiring specic skills
and instrument, that is why we recommend to conduct axle adjust-
ments only at a service station.
During inspection of the steering knuckles, check the service-
ability of adjusting bolts 1 (Fig. 9.16) and steering stop bolts 3.
The value of steering angle B of the right wheel to the right,
