DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A0058LT

      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 side gear thrust washers with washers of a different thickness. Use the table below to select a side gear thrust washer which will ensure that the backlash is within the specification.

      Thrust Washer Thickness
      Part No. Mark Specified Condition
      41361-22140 14 0.95 mm (0.0374 in.)
      41361-22020 02 1.00 mm (0.0394 in.)
      41361-22150 15 1.05 mm (0.0413 in.)
      41361-22030 03 1.10 mm (0.0433 in.)
      41361-22160 16 1.15 mm (0.0452 in.)
      41361-22040 04 1.20 mm (0.0472 in.)

      Tech Tips

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

  2. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION THRUST WASHER


    1. A0056E9

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

      Standard thickness
      0.92 to 1.08 mm (0.0363 to 0.0425 in.)
      Minimum thickness
      0.92 mm (0.0363 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. A0052QN

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

      Standard outer diameter
      16.982 to 17.000 mm (0.6686 to 0.6692 in.)
      Minimum outer diameter
      16.982 mm (0.6686 in.)

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