LSD Differential Torque Check

Use the following special tools to check for differential torque.
- Base (MB990989)
- Tool A (MB990990)
  Standard value:
  
  (When a new clutch plate is used):
  
  2. 1 - 2.9 N.m (18.6 - 25.7 in-lb)
  
  (When the current clutch plate is reused):
  
  2. 1 - 2.9 N.m (18.6 - 25.7 in-lb)
NOTE: Before measuring the differential torque, first turn the gears so they snug each other, then take measurements during rotation.

If the measurement falls outside the specified range, disassemble the differential case assembly and repair or replace defective parts.
