Differentials
3) Adjusting drive pinion height
Adjust drive pinion height with shim installed
between rear bearing cone and the back of pinion
gear.
(1) Install ST1, ST2 and ST3, as shown in the
figure, and apply the specified preload on the
bearings
Front and rear bearing preload
For new bearing:
12.7 — 32.4 N (1.3 — 3.3 kgf, 2.9 — 7.3 lb)
at companion flange bolt hole
Adjusting preload for front and rear bearings
NOTE:
At this time, install an original pinion height adjust-
ing shim.

(A) Pinion height adjusting shim
(2) Measure the clearance N between the end
of ST3 and the end surface of ST1 by using a
thickness gauge.
NOTE:
Make sure there is no clearance between the case
and ST3.

(3) Obtain the thickness of pinion height adjust-
ing washer to be inserted from the following
formula, and replace the temporarily installed
shim with this one.
NOTE:
Use 1 to 3 shims as required for adjustment.
T = To + N − 0.05 (mm)
where
T = Thickness of pinion height adjusting shim
(mm)
To = Thickness of shim originally installed
(mm)
N = Reading of thickness gauge (mm)
H = Figure marked on drive pinion head
(Example of calculation)
To = 0.15 mm
N = 0.1 mm
T = 0.15 + 0.1 − 0.05 = 0.2 mm
Result: Thickness = 0.2 mm
Therefore use the 32295AA220.

4) Install the selected pinion height adjusting shim
on drive pinion, and press the rear bearing cone
into position with ST.
