Drive Pinion
1) Remove pinion flange retaining nut. Scribe alignment marks
on drive pinion and pinion flange for reassembly. Using soft-faced
hammer, drive out pinion. Remove front adjusting shim and spacer from
pinion.
2) Using bearing puller, remove rear bearing from pinion.
Remove rear adjusting shim from pinion. Remove oil seal and bearing
races from differential carrier.
Inspection
1) Inspect all gears for cracked or flaking teeth. Inspect
pinion shaft for wear. Inspect pinion flange and drive pinion for
damaged splines.
2) Inspect bearings and races for roughness or flaking.
Replace worn components. On limited slip axles, inspect clutch
components and contact areas for wear or overheating. Inspect friction
plates, friction discs, spring plates and pressure rings for signs of
seizure, excessive heat, severe friction or nicks.
NOTE: Outer areas of friction surfaces will wear heavier due to
clutch plate and preload spring.
3) Using dial indicator, check friction plate and friction
disc for warpage. Replace components if beyond specification. See
FRICTION PLATE & DISC SPECIFICATIONS table.
4) Measure friction plates and disc thickness at projection
areas not within wear area. Measure plate and disc thickness in
friction surface. Difference between thickness of projections and
friction surface indicates amount of wear. Replace components if not

gear. Securely stake pin in 2 places. Ensure adhesive is removed from
ring gear mounting bolts and gear mounting surface. Clean internal
threads with tap.
5) Ensure alignment marks on differential case and ring gear
are aligned. Apply Loctite 271 to bolts and install ring gear on
differential case. Tighten bolts in diagonal sequence to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at the end of this
article.
CASE ASSEMBLY (LIMITED SLIP)
1) Assemble 2 friction discs and 2 friction plates; assemble
plate, disc, plate and disc. Measure assembly thickness. Assemble
discs and plates to give standard difference of .002" (.05 mm) between\
the 2 sides.
2) Assemble spring plates and spring discs with one on each
side. Measure assembly thickness. Assemble disc and plates to obtain
minimum difference in thickness between each assembly.
3) Assemble clutch assemblies, pressure rings, pinion gears,
side gears and pinion shaft. Measure overall width of assembly plus
spring plates and spring discs. This measurement is "C". See Fig. 6.
Fig. 6: Measuring Clutch Assembly Width

4) Determine depth "D" of differential case, using formula
"D"="E"+"F"-"G" or "D"="E"+"H"-"F"-"G" . See Fig. 7. Subtract
measurement "C" from measurement "D" to determine spring plate-to-case

clearance. Adjust spring disc thickness to obtain proper spring plate-
to-case clearance. Correct clearance is .0024-.0079" (.060-.200 mm).

CAUTION: DO NOT interchange clutch components for right and left
sides. Mark clutch components for location.
5) Remove spring plates, spring discs, friction plates and
friction disc from pressure rings. Mark components for location.
Install thrust washers on each end of pressure rings. See Fig. 8.
6) Measure distance from end of thrust washer to rear face of
pressure ring. Select proper thickness thrust washers to obtain a .
002" (.05 mm) or less difference between measurements.
7) Once correct thrust washers are determined, install thrust
washers on pressure rings. Squeeze pressure rings together and measure
width from end of thrust washer to remaining thrust washer. This is
dimension "H". See Fig. 8.
8) Determine distance between thrust washer surfaces when
differential case is assembled. This is dimension "I"
("I"="J"+"K"+"L"). See Fig. 8. Dimension "J" is the same as dimension
"D" in step 4).

Thrust washer must be changed to obtain correct specification. Correct
clearance is .002-.008" (.05-.20 mm).
10) Select thrust washers to obtain correct clearance from
pressure ring face and end of thrust washer surface. Thrust washers
are available in 3 sizes.
11) Apply gear oil and friction modifier to all components.
Install components in differential case. Ensure assembly order and
direction of clutch components are correct. See Fig. 9.

12) Install differential case cover with reference marks
aligned. Tighten screws to specification in several steps. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article. Ensure cases contact each
other completely when fully assembled. Check for incorrect clutch
assembly if gap exists.
13) Using Clutch Plate Preload Tool (MB990988), Shaft
(MB990989) and torque wrench, measure starting torque. Slightly rotate\
unit before measuring starting torque. See Fig. 10.

Fig. 10: Checking Differential Starting Torque
Courtesy of Chrysler Motors.
14) Starting torque must be within specification. See
STARTING TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table. Ensure adhesive is removed from
ring gear mounting bolts and gear mounting surface. Clean internal
threads with tap.
15) Ensure alignment marks on differential case and ring gear
are aligned. Apply Loctite 271 to bolts and install ring gear on
differential case. Tighten bolts in diagonal sequence to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table.

DRIVE PINION HEIGHT
1) Install pinion bearing races in carrier. Ensure races are
fully seated. Install pinion height gauge and pinion bearings. Use
Pinion Height Gauge (MB990901) for all others. See Fig. 10. DO NOT
install oil seal.
2) Using torque wrench, measure pinion rotating torque.
Gradually tighten pinion height gauge to increase rotating torque to
3.5-4.3 INCH lbs. (.40-.48 N.m).
3) Install cylinder gauge in side bearing seats. Ensure flat
areas are aligned and gauge contacts side bearing seat firmly. See
Fig. 11 . Select adjusting shim with same thickness as gap between
cylinder gauge and pinion height gauge.
4) Use minimum amount of adjusting shims. Install selected
