Differential Bearing Shim Chart
Combine shims, if necessary, to obtain a shim within 0.05mm (0.002 inch) of the required shim (see Shim Chart for proper shims).
7. Remove differential bearing retainer. Remove bearing cup and gauging shim. Properly install oil baffle. Be sure oil baffle is not damaged. Install
shim(s) selected in step (6). Then press in the bearing cup into differential bearing retainer.
8. Using a 1/16 inch bead of MOPAR Gasket Maker, Loctite 518, or equivalent for gasket, install differential bearing retainer. Torque all bolts (See
Tightening Reference).
Checking Differential Bearing Turning Torque
9. Using Special Tool C-4995 and an inch-pound torque wrench, check turning torque of the differential assembly in clockwise and counterclockwise
directions. The turning torque should be 9 to 14 in. lbs. for new bearings or a minimum of 6 in. lbs. for used bearings. If the turning torque is too
high, install a 0.05mm (0.002 inch) thinner shim. If the turning torque is too low, install a 0.05mm (0.002 inch) thicker shim.
10. Recheck turning torque. Repeat Step (9) until the proper turning torque is obtained.
