Limited-Slip Differential Check - Mitsubishi 3000GT Service Manual

Correct
REAR AXLE <AWD>
REAR WHEEL BEARING ROTARY-SLIDING
RESISTANCE CHECK
1. Remove the drive shaft from the companion flange.
2. Remove the brake pad or caliper assembly.
3. Attach a spring balance to the hub bolt, then, pulling
the balance at a right angle to the hub bolt, measure
the rotary-sliding resistance to see whether it is within
the limit value.
Limit: 12 N
4. If the rotary-sliding resistance exceeds the limit value,
check the tightening torque of the axle shaft companion
flange. If it is normal, replace the bearing.

LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL CHECK

1. Block the front wheels and move the shift lever to neutral.
2. Completely release the parking brake.
3. Jack up the rear wheels and place a rigid rack at the
specified part of the side sill.
4. Disconnect the coupling of the differential and propeller
shaft.
5. When one wheel is slowly rotated, check whether or not
the wheel on the other side turns in the same direction.
6. If it turns in the opposite direction, replace the viscous
unit.
