down and toward the toe (1).
• High toe (1) contact on the coast side (3) moves
down and toward the heel (2).
The following tooth contact pattern exists when the
differential drive pinion gear is too close to the
centerline of the differential ring gear:
• Low toe (1) contact on the drive side (4)
• Low heel (2) contact on the coast side (3)
