(a) Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the starting torque of the drive pinion. The backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear should
allow enough movement of the drive pinion to allow this measurement to be performed. Make sure not to include the preload of the ring gear
(differential case) in the measurement of the drive pinion preload.
Drive pinion preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.2 to 1.8 N*m (13 to 18 kgf*cm, 11 to 15 in.*lbf)
Reused bearing
0.5 to 0.8 N*m (6 to 8 kgf*cm, 5 to 7 in.*lbf)
If the preload is not within the specified range, adjust the rear differential drive pinion preload or repair as necessary.
8. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD
(a) Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
Total preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.8 to 3.6 N*m (19 to 36 kgf*cm, 16 to 31 in.*lbf)
Reused bearing
1.1 to 2.6 N*m (12 to 26 kgf*cm, 10 to 23 in.*lbf)
9. INSPECT RUNOUT OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL CASE SUB-ASSEMBLY
HINT: Perform this procedure only when the runout of the differential ring gear exceeds the specified maximum value.
(a) Install the differential case to the differential carrier.
NOTICE: Do not damage the case bearing.
