Disassemble limited slip differential carrier in numbered sequence shown in Fig. 31. Right and left thrust washers are of different thickness, and
should be identified in some way for reference during assembly.
ASSEMBLY
Fig. 32 Installing Differential Pinion Mate
Fig. 33 Left Thrust Washer Chart
Assemble limited slip differential carrier in reverse numbered sequence shown in Fig. 31, noting the following:
1.
Align mating marks of differential case A and B when assembling.
2.
With pinion mate washers in position, install to differential pinion shaft, then to differential case B, Fig. 32.
3.
If differential side gear and pinion mate gear have been replaced, select left thrust washer as follows:
a. Wash differential gear and pinion mate gears in unleaded gasoline.
b. Install old thrust washer together with gears, viscous unit, pinion mate washer and pinion shaft into differential cases A and B then temporarily
tighten screws.
c. Perform steps 1 through 6 of ``Inspection Before Disassembly'' procedure.
d. If clearance in thrust direction of side gear is not within .0012-.0035 inch, remove differential case A and make adjustment by changing
thickness of left thrust washer. Select one left thrust washer from 11 types in kit No. MB569243, Fig. 33.
