DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A01VHYI

      Using a dial indicator, measure the front differential side gear backlash.

      Standard backlash
      0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.00197 to 0.00787 in.)

      If the backlash is not as specified, replace the front differential side gear thrust washers with washers of a different thickness. Use the table below to select a front differential side gear thrust washer which will ensure that the backlash is within the specification.

      Thrust Washer Thickness
      Part No.

      Thickness

      mm (in.)
      41361-70010 0.500 (0.0197)
      41361-70020 0.550 (0.0217)
      41361-70030 0.600 (0.0236)
      41361-70040 0.650 (0.0256)
      41361-70050 0.700 (0.0276)
      41361-70060 0.750 (0.0295)
      41361-70070 0.800 (0.0315)
      41361-70080 0.850 (0.0335)
      41361-70090 0.900 (0.0354)
      41361-70100 0.950 (0.0374)

      Tech Tips

      Select washers of the same thickness for both the right and left sides.

  2. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION THRUST WASHER


    1. A01VG1Z

      Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the front differential pinion thrust washer.

      Minimum thickness
      0.54 mm (0.0213 in.)

      If the thickness is less than the minimum, replace the front differential pinion thrust washer.

  3. INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT


    1. A01VGNH

      Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter of the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft.

      Minimum outer diameter
      14.975 mm (0.590 in.)

      If the outer diameter is less than the minimum, replace the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft.
