on the ring gear.
NOTE:
-
Backlash tolerance is 0.13-0.23 mm (0.005-0.009 inch) and cannot vary more than 0.08 mm (0.003 inch) between the three points.
-
When a change in backlash is required differential bearing shims should be changed in the range of 1-1/2 times the amount of backlash
required to bring the gears into specification. For example, if the backlash needed to be changed by 0.10 mm (0.004 inch), the differential
bearing shims should be changed by 0.15 mm (0.006 inch) as a starting point. The actual amount of backlash change obtained will vary
depending upon the ratio and gear size.
11. If backlash is high, the ring gear must be moved closer to the pinion, by moving differential bearing shims from the drive pinion side of the
differential case to the ring gear side. If backlash is low, the ring gear must be moved away from the pinion by moving differential bearing shims
from the ring gear side to the opposite side.
