2. Inspect the left side cover output shaft bushing (3) for damage or excessive wear.

3. Inspect the covers for the following conditions:
*
Damage to the O-ring seal surface (1)
*
Damage to the axle shaft oil seal bores (2)
*
Restrictions within the internal oil passages
*
Porosity
*
Dents or damage to the exterior of the rear cover that may create interference with the pinion shaft
4. Inspect the pump assembly, some models, for damage. Pump should turn freely without noise.
