SUSPENSION AND AXLE

Using SST to hold the flange, tighten the nut.

Adjust the drive pinion preload by tightening the companion

As there is no spacer, tighten the nut a little at a time and

be careful not to overtighten it.

Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the drive

pinion using the backlash between the drive pinion and

Preload (at starting):

1.2 − 1.9 N·m (12 − 19 kgf·cm, 10.4 − 16.5 in.·lbf)

Reused bearing

0.6 − 1.0 N·m (6 − 10 kgf·cm, 5.2 − 8.7 in.·lbf)

Install the side bearing retainer with the 10 bolts.

Torque: 69 N·m (700 kgf·cm, 51 ft·lbf)

Using SST and a dial indicator, measure the ring gear

Backlash: 0.13 − 0.18 mm (0.0051 − 0.0071 in.)

If the backlash is not within the specified value, adjust it by ei-

ther increasing or decreasing the thickness of plate washers on

both sides by an equal amount.

There should be no clearance between the plate washer and

case. Ensure that there is ring gear backlash.
