Differential Carrier: Testing and Inspection

DIFFERENTIAL: REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY: INSPECTION

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT RUNOUT OF DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR

(a) Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the differential ring gear.

Maximum runout:
0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)

Check that there is no damage to the differential case. If the differential case is damaged, replace it.

2. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR BACKLASH

(a) Using a dial indicator, check the backlash of the differential ring gear.

Backlash:
0.13 to 0.18 mm (0.0051 to 0.0071 in.)

If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the side bearing preload or repair as necessary.

3. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL PINION AND SIDE GEAR

(a) Using a dial indicator, check the backlash of the differential side gear while holding one of the pinion gears toward the differential case

assembly.

Backlash:
0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.0020 to 0.0079 in.)

If the backlash is not within the specification, install the 2 differential side gear thrust washers of different thicknesses.
HINT: Measure the backlash of the differential side gear with the rear differential pinion shaft installed.

4. INSPECT RUNOUT OF REAR DRIVE PINION COMPANION FLANGE SUB-ASSEMBLY
