DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A01CWCX

      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 No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers with washers of a different thickness. Use the table below to select a front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer which will ensure that the backlash is within the specification.

      Standard Thrust Washer Thickness
      Mark Specified Condition
      1 1.00 mm (0.0394 in.)
      2 1.10 mm (0.0433 in.)
      3 1.20 mm (0.0472 in.)
      4 1.30 mm (0.0511 in.)

      Tech Tips

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

  2. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION THRUST WASHER


    1. A01CYNB

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

      Minimum thickness
      0.9 mm (0.0354 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. A01GCH7

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

      Minimum outer diameter
      17.975 mm (0.708 in.)

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