15. ADJUST TOTAL PRELOAD
(a) Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
SST: 09229-55010
Standard total preload:
New bearing
1.7 to 3.1 N*m (18 to 31 kgf*cm, 15 to 27 in.*lbf)
Reused bearing
1.0 to 2.1 N*m (10 to 21 kgf*cm, 9 to 18 in.*lbf)
If the measured preload is below the standard value, replace the differential side gear shaft snap ring with a thicker one.
If the measured preload is above the standard value, replace the differential side gear shaft snap ring with a thinner one.
-
If the thickness of the differential side gear shaft snap ring changes 0.02 mm (0.000787 in.), the total preload will change approximately
0.1 N*m (1 kgf*cm, 1 in.*lbf).
-
For reassembly purposes, record the measured value.
(b) Place a dial indicator so that it is perpendicular to the top of the ring gear on the tooth side.
(c) Fix the companion flange in place, and measure the ring gear backlash.
Standard backlash:
0.08 to 0.13 mm (0.00315 to 0.00511 in.)
NOTE: Measure at 3 or more areas around the circumference of the ring gear.
If the backlash is not within the specified range, adjust it to the specified range by equally increasing or decreasing the thickness of the right
and left side differential side gear shaft snap rings.
HINT:
-
When adjusting the backlash, adjust to within 0.1 mm (0.00394 in.) of the average of the measurements.
-
When the side gear shaft snap ring thickness changes by 0.02 mm (0.000787 in.), the backlash will also change by approximately 0.02 mm
(0.000787 in.).
-
Record the measured value, as it is used to select the differential side gear shaft snap ring.
-
Perform the tooth contact pattern inspection for the differential ring gear and drive pinion. The results will be used as a reference for
selecting the differential side gear shaft snap ring.
(d) Recheck the total preload.
16. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR AND DRIVE PINION
