IS F V8-5.0L (2UR-GSE) (2008)
(a) Place a dial indicator on the tip of the pinion gear tooth at a right angle. Hold the side gear in the differential case and check that the backlash
is 0.15 mm (0.00591 in.) or less.
If not, replace the rear differential case sub-assembly with a new one.
5. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
(a) Secure the differential case in a vise between aluminum plates.
NOTICE: Do not overtighten the vise.
(b) Place a dial indicator on the tip of the side gear tooth at a right angle. Hold the pinion gear in the differential case and check that the backlash
is 0.15 mm (0.00591 in.) or less.
If not, replace the rear differential case sub-assembly with a new one.
6. INSPECT RUNOUT OF DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the drive pinion shaft at a position 10 mm (0.394 in.) away from the end of the shaft.
Maximum runout:
0.08 mm (0.00315 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the drive pinion and ring gear.
