8. CHECK AND ADJUST FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE
GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE (NO.2 DIFFERENTIAL
CASE SIDE)
(a) Install these parts to the No.2 differential case:
No.2 differential side gear thrust washer
Front differential side gear thrust washer
Front differential side gear
Front differential case assembly
HINT:
Engage the front differential side gear and pinion gear of the
front differential case.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance of the
front differential side gear while holding the front differen-
tial case on the No.2 differential case side.
Standard clearance: 0.17−0.26 mm (0.007−0.010 in.)
HINT:
Turning the side gear a bit, check the maximum value of the
thrust clearance.
If the backlash is out of the specification, refer to the table below
and select a thrust washer which will ensure that the backlash
is within the specification.

9. INSTALL RING GEAR
(a) Clean the contact surface of the differential left case.
(b) Heat the ring gear to about 100°C (212°F) in boiling wa-
ter.
(c) Carefully take the ring gear out of the water.
(d) Clean the contact surface of the ring gear with cleaning
solvent.
(e) Quickly install the ring gear on the differential case.
HINT:
Align the matchmarks on the No.2 differential case and connect
the ring gear.
