DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A018KUR

      Hold the differential case in a vise between aluminum plates.

      Note

      Do not overtighten the vise.

    2. Place a dial indicator at a right angle to one of the differential side gear teeth.

    3. Hold either front differential pinion and measure the backlash of the differential side gear.

      Standard Backlash
      0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.00197 to 0.00787 in.)
      Front No. 1 Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer Thickness
      Thickness Thickness
      0.90 mm (0.0354 in.) 1.10 mm (0.0433 in.)
      1.00 mm (0.0394 in.) 1.20 mm (0.0472 in.)

      If the backlash is not within the standard range, select another front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer.
