Santa Fe V6-3.5L (2004)
Hold the special tool in a vice, and mount the differential carrier on the special tool.
FINAL DRIVE GEAR BACKLASH
1. Fix the drive gear so it cannot move and measure the final drive gear backlash with a dial indicator.
NOTE: Measure at four points or more on the circumference of the drive gear.
Standard value: 0.08 - 0.13 mm (0.003 - 0.005 inch)
2. If the backlash is beyond the standard value, adjust by using the side bearing spacer.
NOTE: After adjustment, inspect the contact of the final drive gear.
DRIVE GEAR RUNOUT
Check the back-face lash as follows:
1. Place a dial gauge on the back-face of the drive gear and measure the runout.
Limit 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
2. If the runout is beyond the limit, check that there are no foreign substances between the drive gear and differential case and, that the bolts fixing
the drive gear are not loose.
3. If nothing is wrong in check (2), adjust the drive gear depth and remeasure.
NOTE: If these adjustments are impossible, replace the case or install a new drive gear/drive pinion as a set.
DIFFERENTIAL GEAR BACKLASH
1. Fix the side gear with a wedge so it cannot move and measure the differential gear backlash with a dial indicator on the pinion gear.
