DISASSEMBLY
1. CHECK RUNOUT OF COMPANION FLANGE
Using a dial indicator, measure the vertical and lateral runout of
the companion flange. Maximum runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
2. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear runout. Maximum runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the ring gear
and driven pinion as a set.
3. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear backlash. Backlash: 0.13 −0.18 mm (0.0051 −0.0071 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the side
bearing preload or repair as necessary.
4. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of backlash be-
tween the drive pinion and ring gear. Preload (at starting):
0.5 − 0.8 N·m (5 − 8 kgf·cm, 4.3 − 6.9 in.·lbf)
5. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus
0.4 − 0.6 N·m (4 − 6 kgf·cm, 3.5 − 5.2 in.·lbf)
If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential.

ensure that the backlash is within the specification.
Try to select washers of the same size for both sides.
Thrust washer thickness
Thickness mm (in.)Thickness mm (in.)
1.60 (0.063).80 (0.071)
1.70 (0.067)1−
(c) Install the 2 side gears with the side gears thrust washers,
4 pinion gears, pinion gear thrust washers and pinion
shaft.
