Operational Check
Set the parking brake and block the rear wheels.
Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see section 1).
With the engine off, shift the transmission into lst
gear,
Rotate either front wheel bv hand and check that
the other wheel rotates in the opposite direction.
lf the opposite tront wheel does not rotste, or if vou
cannot spin the front wheels at all, the limited slip
differential is faulty and should be roplaced.
Rotating Torque Check
Setting parking brake and block the rear wheels.
Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in proper locations (see section 1).

torquo wrench in the direction shown, Rotate the
torque wrench morg than two complete turns and
take the maximum reading.
Shift the transmission into 1st gear and measure
the rotating torque again.
Calculate the rotating torque:
Service Limit:
Measur€ment from steD 5
M e a s u r e m e n t f r o m s t e p 4 = - -
For example:
7.8 N.m (0.8 kgf.m)
zg N"ll (03 kgf'ntl
= z'ot > z''
Repeat step 3 through 6 for the other wheel.
Replace the limited slip differential assembly if the
rotsting lorque is lower than the service limit.
