width by using a dial gauge, ST1 and ST2.
Standard bearing width:
20.00 mm (0.7874 in)
NOTE:
Set the dial gauge needle to zero, using a standard bear-
ing or block of specified height in advance.

14) Adjusting side bearing retainer shims
(1) The drive gear backlash and side bearing preload
can be determined by the side bearing retainer shim
thickness.
(2) When replacing differential case, differential carrier,
side bearing and side bearing retainer, obtain the right
and left retainer shim thickness from the following for-
mulas.
T
1(Left) = (A + C + G1D) x 0.01 + 0.76E (mm)
T
2(Right) = (B+D+G2) x 0.01 + 0.76F (mm)
T
1&T2: Thickness of left and right side bearing
retainer shim (mm)
A & B : Number marked on differential carrier
C & D : Number marked on differential case
E & F : Difference of width of left and right side
bearing from standard width 20.0 mm,
expressed in a unit of 0.01 mm. For
example, if the bearing measured width
is 19.89 mm, value of E or F is as follows.
20.0019.89 = 0.11 (E or F)
G
1&G2: Number marked on side bearing retainer
If a number is not marked, regard it as zero.
NOTE:
Use several shims to obtain the calculated thickness.

8) Using a wrench [32 mm (1.26 in) width across flats] or
adjustable wrench, remove tie-rod.
CAUTION:

Check ball joint for free play, and tie-rod for bends.
Replace if necessary.

Check dust seals used with tie-rod end ball joint for
damage or deterioration. Replace if necessary.
9) Loosen adjusting screw and remove spring and sleeve.
CAUTION:
Replace spring and/or sleeve if damaged.

3. MEASUREMENT OF STEERING EFFORT
*4
Measure steering efforts in stand still with engine idling on
concrete road.
Result: 29.4 N (3.0 kg, 6.6 lb) or less in both directions
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Adjust backlash.
Measure steering efforts in stand still with engine stalled on
concrete road.
Result: 294.2 N (30.0 kg, 66.2 lb) or less in both directions
NOT GOOD GOOD*4 When turning steering more
quickly than necessary from
a direction to the other direc-
tion at an engine speed over
2,000 rpm, steering effort
may be heavy. This is caused
by flow characteristic of oil
pump and is not a problem.
Adjust backlash.
Remove universal joint.
Measure steering wheel effort.
Result: Maximum force is 2.26 N (0.23 kg, 0.51 lb) or less in
both directions.
Fluctuation width is 1.08 N (0.11 kg, 0.24 lb) or less.
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Check, readjust, replace if
necessary.
Measure folding torque of the joint.
Result: 5.49 N (0.56 kg, 1.23 lb) or less for long yoke
8.43 N (0.86 kg, 1.90 lb) or less for short yoke
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Replace with a new one.
Check front wheels for unsteady revolution or rattling and brake
for dragging.
GOOD
NOT GOOD
Inspect, readjust, replace if
necessary.
Remove tie-rod ends.
