The solid rear axle layout is identical for 2WD, 4WD, vehicles. The rear axle consists of right and left axle shafts that have their inner ends connected to a hypoid type of differential. The axle housing is located to the frame from front to back with one upper and two lower trailing links. It is located from side to side with a single Panhard rod. The rearaxle is suspended from the frame with coil springs and tubular shock absorbers. To take full advantage of the DOHC engine’s greater torque, the differential in these vehicles has a ring and pinion gear ratio that is numerically higher. As an option, the 4WD vehicles with the DOHC engine can be equipped with a limited slip differential. http://www.kiatechinfo.com/viewer/content.asp?IsPrint=true&imgnum=1&print_title=... 1/29/2011 Page 1 of 1 SPORTAGE(AL) >1999 > G 2.0 DOHC > Driveshaft and axle COMPONENTS http://www.kiatechinfo.com/viewer/content.asp?IsPrint=true&imgnum=1&print_title=... 1/29/2011 Page 1 of 4 SPORTAGE(AL) >1999 > G 2.0 DOHC > Driveshaft and axle REMOVAL Axle Shaft Required SST: • Axle Attachment: K95U-5005-G • Slide Hammer: K95U-0004-G 1.

If, while the vehicle is beingserviced, only one wheel is raised off the floor and the rear axle is driven by the engine, the wheel on the floor coulddrive the vehicle off the stand or jack. Problem Possible Cause Action Misassembled friction disc, plate or conical spring Repair Incorrect shim selection for gear sub-assemblies Adjust Insufficient differential oil Replace Misassembled friction disc, plate, conical spring Repair Incorrect shim selection for gear sub-assemblies Adjust Worn friction disc, plate, conical spring or pressure ring Replace No differential operation No LSD operation INSPECTION 1. Jack up one wheel. 2. While the other wheel is on the floor, and using a torque wrench of at least 200 lb·ft (271 N·m), test the breakaway torque required to start rotation. The torque required to start rotation should be at least 20 lb·ft (27 N·m). Normally, the initial breakaway torque will be higher than the continuous turning torque. The axle shaft should turn with even pressure without binding throughout the test. 3. If the torque reading is less than specified or if driving tests reveal abnormal chatter, the differential case should be replaced.
