Differential Case: Inspection
- INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
- Hold the differential case in a vise between aluminum plates.NOTE: Do not overtighten the vise.
- Place a dial indicator on the tip of the side gear tooth at a right angle.
- Hold the pinion gear in the differential case and measure the backlash of the side gear.
Standard backlash:
0 to 0.15 mm (0 to 0.0059 in.)
Thrust washer thickness
THRUST WASHER THICKNESS SPECIFICATIONThickness Thickness 1.50 mm (0.0591 in.) 1.75 mm (0.0689 in.) 1.55 mm (0.0610 in.) 1 80 mm (0.0709 in.) 1 60 mm (0.0630 in.) 1.85 mm (0.07283 in.) 1 65 mm (0 0650 in.) 1.90 mm (0.07480 in) 1.70 mm (0 0669 in.) - If the backlash is greater than the standard range, select another side gear thrust washer.
