4. Measure backlash of the side gear and pinion gear.

Specified Value

0 - 0.05 mm

5. Install the differential carrier assembly into the axle housing.

Tightening Torque of The

Bearing Cap Bolts

48 - 69 Nm

Notice

Be careful no to change the caps. Be sure to keep the original
position of the caps.

6. Measure backlash of the drive pinion and ring gear.

7. Install the axle housing cover.

Specified Value

0.13 - 0.20  mm

Tightening  Torque

Inspection of Ring Gear Tooth Contact Pattern

Normal Contact

Apply gear-marking compound (prussian blue / red lead) on
the ring gear teeth. Rotate the ring gear and check the tooth
contact pattern.

Abnormal Contact

Tooth Contact pattern

Possible Cause

Remedy

1. Heel Contact

2. Toe Contact

3. Face Contact

4. Flank Contact

Insufficient backlash (little)

!

Tooth can be damaged
or broken under heavy
load

Excessive backlash (much)

!

Drive pinion shaft is apart
from the ring gear

!

Noise can be occurred

Insufficient backlash (much)

!

Gear contacts on the low
flank

!

Gear can be damaged or
worn

!

Noise can be occurred

Adjust backlash(Decrease backlash)

!

Select proper shim(s) to move the
drive pinion toward the ring gear
(toward toe)

Adjust backlash(Increase backlash)

!

Select proper shim(s) to move the
drive pinion against the ring gear
(toward heel)

Adjust backlash(Increase pinion shim)

!

Move the drive pinion toward the ring
gear (toward center of ring gear)

Adjust backlash(Decrease pinion shim)

!

Move the ring gear toward the drive
pinion (toward ring gear center line)

Excessive backlash (little)

!

Noise can be occurred

Inspection

!

Remove the LSD assembly and check the pre-load torque.

!

If necessary, replace LSD assembly.

Procedure

1. Fix the right shaft of LSD to the special tool (A).

2. Install the special tool (B) to the left shaft and rotate

counterclockwise and check the pre-load torque.

Normal Torque

3.6 - 9.0kgm

Notice

If necessary, replace LSD assembly.
