DIFFERENTIAL CASE INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A01ETIH

      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.)
      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.
