(a) Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload.
Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus 0.29 to 0.49 N*m (3.0 to 5.0 kgf*cm, 2.6 to 4.3 in.*lbf)
If the total preload is not within the specified range, adjust the total preload or repair as necessary.
33. INSPECT BACKLASH DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR AND DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION
(a) Set a lever probe to a dial indicator. Insert the probe into the drain plug hole and set it onto the edge of one of the teeth of the ring gear at a

(b) Using SST, turn the differential case clockwise and counterclockwise and measure the ring gear backlash while holding the companion flange
with your hand.
SST: 09564-32011
Backlash:
0.08 to 0.16 mm (0.0031 to 0.0063 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specified range, adjust the ring gear backlash or repair as necessary.
34. INSPECT RUNOUT OF FRONT DRIVE PINION COMPANION FLANGE FRONT
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the companion flange vertically and horizontally.
