DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A00YWJL

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

      Standard side gear thrust washer thickness
      Specified Condition Specified Condition
      1.25 mm (0.0492 in.) 1.65 mm (0.0650 in.)
      1.30 mm (0.0512 in.) 1.70 mm (0.0669 in.)
      1.35 mm (0.0531 in.) 1.75 mm (0.0689 in.)
      1.40 mm (0.0551 in.) 1.80 mm (0.0709 in.)
      1.45 mm (0.0571 in.) 1.85 mm (0.0728 in.)
      1.50 mm (0.0591 in.) 1.90 mm (0.0748 in.)
      1.55 mm (0.0610 in.) 1.95 mm (0.0768 in.)
      1.60 mm (0.0630 in.) -

      Tech Tips

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

  2. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION THRUST WASHER


    1. A00YWJ0

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

      Minimum thickness
      0.54 to 0.66 mm (0.0213 to 0.0259 in.)

      If the thickness is less than the minimum, replace the front differential pinion thrust washer.

  3. INSPECT NO. 1 FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT


    1. A00YWTH

      sing a micrometer, measure the outside diameter of the No. 1 front differential pinion shaft.

      Minimum diameter
      20.499 to 20.520 mm (0.8071 to 0.8078 in.)

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