DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A01HMTH

      Hold the front differential case in a vise between aluminum plates.

      Note

      Do not overtighten the vise.

    2. Place a dial indicator on the tip of the differential side gear tooth at a right angle.

    3. Hold the front differential pinion in the front differential case and measure the backlash of the differential side gear.

      Standard backlash
      0.05 to 0.2 mm (0.00197 to 0.00787 in.)
      Thrust Washer Thickness
      Thickness [mm (in.)]
      1.00 (0.0394)
      1.10 (0.0433)
      1.20 (0.0472)
      1.30 (0.0512)

      If the backlash is greater than the standard range, select another No. 1 front differential side gear thrust washer.
