      Tech Tips

      Measure at 3 or more areas on the circumference of the differential ring gear.

Adjust the thickness of the left and right rear differential side gear shaft plate washers in equal increments. Then install the rear differential case bearing (outer race).

      Tech Tips


      • Adjust the thickness of the LH and RH rear differential side gear shaft plate washers by the same amount each time until the backlash is within the standard range. If the thickness on the LH side is increased, decrease the thickness on the RH side, and if the thickness on the LH side is decreased, increase the thickness on the RH side.

      • When the backlash is smaller than the specified value, select a thick rear differential side gear shaft plate washer for the RH side and thin rear differential side gear shaft plate washer for the LH side.

      • When the backlash is larger than the specified value, select a thin rear differential side gear shaft plate washer for the RH side and thick rear differential side gear shaft plate washer for the LH side.
