| Oil Seal Installation Depth |
|---|
| -0.5 to 0.5 mm (-0.0197 to 0.0196 in.) |
Note
Make sure to check the identification marks on the rear drive shaft oil seals before installation because the part numbers differ between the left and right sides.
To ensure a proper seal, evenly tap in the rear drive shaft oil seal.
When installing the rear drive shaft oil seal, tap it in until the outer surface is flush with the rear differential carrier.
Make sure the difference between the maximum and minimum measured values of the oil seal installation depth is less than 0.88 mm (0.0347 in.), as a greater difference may lead to oil leaks.
