Differential Carrier: Testing and Inspection
Inspection
Install the differential carrier assembly(A) with the special tools(09517-43101 & 09517-43500). Then carry out the following inspection.
1. Check the final drive gear backlash by the following procedure.
(1) Place the drive pinion and move the drive gear to check backlash is within the standard range.
NOTE:
Measure at 4 points on the gear periphery.
Standard value :
Frt : 0.09 - 0.11mm(0.0035 - 0.0044)
Rt : 0.13 - 0.18mn(0.0051 - 0.0070)
2. Check the drive gear back-face lash by the following procedure.
(1) Place a dial gauge on the back-face of the drive gear and measure the runout.
Limit :0.05 mm (0.002 in)
(2) If the runout is beyond the limit, check that there are no foreign substances between the drive gear and differential case and, that the bolts
fixing the drive gear are not loose.
3. Check the differential carrier backlash by the following procedure.
(1) Fix the side gear with a wedge so it cannot move and measure the differential gear backlash with a dial indicator on the pinion gear.
Standard value :0 - 0.1 mm (0 - 0.00039 in)
NOTE:
Take the measurements at two places on the pinion gear.
(2) If the backlash exceeds the limit, adjust using side bearing spacers.
