      Tech Tips


      • The backlash between the differential drive pinion and differential ring gear should allow enough movement of the differential drive pinion to allow this measurement to be performed.

      • Make sure not to include the preload of the differential ring gear (rear differential case sub-assembly) in the measurement of the differential drive pinion preload.

  12. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD


    1. A000PDYE01

      Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the differential drive pinion and differential ring gear in contact.
