6. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the drive pinion using the backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting): 0.8 - 1.1 Nm (8 - 11 kgf-cm, 7.0 - 9.7 inch lbs.)
7. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus 0.4 - 0.6 Nm (4 - 6 kgf-cm, 3.5 - 5.2 inch lbs.)
If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential.
