14. Locate the A2 value (2) on the side of the ring gear.
Important: The A2 value is a manufacturing variation between the ring gear and pinion. The A2 value may be higher, lower, or equal to
65.8 mm (2.59 in) of the differential nominal value. When subtracting the D nominal value from the A2 value, the C3 calculation may
compute to a positive, negative, or zero total.
15. Subtract the D nominal value of 65.8 mm (2.59 in) from the A2 value. Record the calculation as C3.
16. Add the C2 value to the C3 value for the proper left side differential bearing shim thickness. The C3 value may be a positive, negative, or zero
value.
17. Select shims equal to the calculated value. It may be necessary to round the shim or shims total to obtain the proper shim sizes. If the shim
thickness calculation is past the midpoint value, round the number to the next decimal value. Refer to Rear Axle Specifications.
18. Remove the pinion housing/cage bolts (1).
19. Remove the pinion housing/cage (2) from the differential.
