INSPECTION BEFORE DISASSEMBLYMmEAl
Hold the working base in a vice, and attach the differential
carrier to the working base.
FINAL DRIVE GEAR BACKLASH
With the drive pinion locked in place, measure the final drive
gear backlash with a dial indicator on the drive gear.
NOTE
Measure at four points or more on the circumference of the,
drive gear.
Standard value: 0.11-0.16
mm (.004-.006
in.)
DRIVE GEAR
RUNOUT
Measure the drive gear runout
at the shoulder on the reverse
side of the drive gear.
Limit: 0.05 mm
(.002 in.)
DIFFERENTIAL GEAR BACKLASH
While locking the side gear with the wedge, measure the
differential gear backlash with a dial indicator on the pinion
gear.
Standard value:O-0.076 mm (O-.003 in.)
Limit:0.2 mm (.008 in.)

FINAL DRIVE GEAR TOOTH CONTACT
Check the final drive gear tooth contact by following the steps
~l”~~ply a thin, uniform coat of machine blue to both surfaces
of the drive gear teeth.
(2) Insert
a brass rod between the differential carrier and the
differential case, and then rotate the companion flange by hand (once in the normal direction, and then once in the
reverse direction) while applying a load to the drive gear, so
that the revolution torque [approximately
2.5-3.0 Nm
(28-33 in.lbs.)l
is applied to the drive pinion.
Caution
If the drive gear is rotated too much, the tooth contact
pattern will become unclear and difficult to check.
(3) Check the tooth contact condition of the drive gear and
drive pinion.
