DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A01G75Y

      Hold the differential case in a vise between aluminum plates.

      Note

      Do not overtighten the vise.

    2. Place a dial indicator on the tip of the side gear tooth at a right angle.

    3. Hold the pinion gear in the differential case and measure the backlash of the side gear.

      Standard backlash
      0.05 to 0.2 mm (0.00197 to 0.00787 in.)
      No. 1 Front Differential Thrust Washer Thickness
      Thickness [mm (in.)]
      1.00 (0.0394)
      1.10 (0.0433)
      1.20 (0.0472)
      1.30 (0.0512)

      If the backlash is greater than the standard range, select another side gear thrust washer.
