(8) Change the side bearing adjusting spacers as illus-
trated, and then adjust the final drive gear backlash
between the drive gear and the drive pinion.
NOTE
Be sure to change the side bearing adjusting spacers on
the drive pinion side and on the drive gear side so that
the total thickness is equal to that obtained from the
calculation in item (3).
When selecting the side bearing adjusting spacers,
keep the number of spacers to a minimum.
(9) Check the drive gear and drive pinion for tooth contact.
If poor contact is evident, make adjustment. (Refer to
P.3-36.)
(lO)Re-measure the backlash to verify that the
backlash complies with the standard value.
NOTE
There is a correlation between the backlash and tooth
contact of the final drive gear. Coordinate their adjust-
ment, while checking both, until a point of compromise
is found. If correct adjustment cannot be made by only
moving the drive gear sideways, adjustment of the
drive pinion height is required.
(11)Measure the drive gear runout.
-
Limit: 0.05 mm (.002 in.)
If the drive gear runout exceeds the limit, reinstall by
changing the phase of the drive gear and differential
case, and re-measure.
3. INSTALLATION OF COVER

which contacts the carrier) as illustrated and attach it on the
carrier.
Specified sealant: MOPAR Part No. 4318034 or equiva-
lent
2. INSTALLATION OF VENT PLUG
When installing vent plug, apply semi-drying sealant to the
mating surfaces of the vent plug and the cover.
Caution

tion.
