Rear brakes on 4WD models are identical to drum brakes on 2WD models (two driving wheels). They differ only in the holes in the axle carrier or drive axle bracket (see chapter 9). The rear suspension of 1985-1987 4x4 vehicles differs from that of 4x2 vehicles of the same model years. On later models, the rear suspension of 4WD and 2WD vehicles is similar (see chapter 10).
This chapter describes the features of 4WD driving, excluding the suspension used on 1985-1987 models (see chapter 10).
If the 4WD drive components are identical to the 2WD drive, see Chapter 8A.
