DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A01EMFP

      Hold the 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 gear in the 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
      1.00 mm (0.0394 in.)
      1.10 mm (0.0433 in.)
      1.20 mm (0.0472 in.)
      1.30 mm (0.0512 in.)

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