Differential assembly
1) Place differential case assembly to differential carrier, push
differential case to left side as shown in figure.
Then measure clearance "a" between side bearing and dif-
ferential carrier by using thickness gauge.
Select shims closest to measured value.
Available shim thickness
: 1.35,1.40,1.45, 1.50, 1.55, 1.60, 1.65, 1.70 and 1.75 mm
(0.0531, 0.0551, 0.0571, 0.0591, 0.0610, 0.0630, 0.0650,
0.669 and 0.0689 in.)
2) Divide selected shim(s) between both sides (right and left)
and install them to differential carrier. Then install differential
side bearing cap.
Tightening torque
Differential side bearing cap bolts
(a) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
NOTE:
• Align match marks (1) on cap and carrier.
• Apply gear oil to bearing.
3) Measure backlash by using dial gauge.
Drive bevel gear backlash
0.10 – 0.20 mm (0.0039 – 0.0078 in.)
NOTE:
• Be sure to apply measuring tip of dial gauge at right
angles to convex side (drive side) of tooth.
• If backlash is out of specification, change division of
shims so that backlash is within specification.
