INTRODUCTION - FOR ALL OF VEHICLES
7. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH LIMITED SLIP DIF-
FERENTIAL
(a) Never apply driving force when RH or LH rear wheel only
is touching the ground.
(b) During service/rectification work never spin (race) the RH
or LH rear wheel only such as with ON-The-Car type
wheel balancer, both rear wheels must be off the ground.
HINT:
F
In case of the above, due to the construction of the LSD
the driving force is transmitted to the opposite wheel and
therefore it is possible for the vehicle to start suddenly if
only one rear wheel is off the ground. Furthermore it could
result in component damage to the LSD due to the loads
acting on it.
F
Always raise both rear wheels off the ground and support
the vehicle on suitable safety stand.
