4B-52 REAR AXLE
TROUBLESHOOTING
Refer to this Section to quickly diagnose and repair rear axle problems.
Each troubleshooting chart has three headings arranged from left to right.
(1) Checkpoint (2) Trouble Cause (3) Countermeasure
This Section is divided into five sub-sections:
1. Abnormal Rear Axle Noise
1) Noise when the engine is driving the vehicle
2) Noise when the vehicle is coasting
3) Intermittent noise
4) Noise when the vehicle is turning
5) Constant noise
2. Vibration
3. Oil Leakage
1) Differential carrier leakage
2) Axle case leakage
3) Axle case to inside hub leakage
4) Axle case to inside brake drum leakage
4. Power Not Being Transmitted to the Wheels (Propeller Shaft Operation is Normal)

3. Check that the driven plate moves smoothly on the
transmission top gear shaft spline.
Minor ridges on the top gear shaft spline may be removed
with an oil stone.
Driven Plate Warpage
1. Insert the clutch pilot aligner into the driven plate splined
hub.
The clutch pilot aligner must be held perfectly horizontal.
Clutch Pilot Aligner : 5-8840-2634-0 (HEC Engine Series)
5-8525-3001-0 (J-24547) (Except HEC Engine Series)
2. Set a dial indicator to the driven plate outside
circumference.
3. Slowly turn the driven plate.
Read the dial indicator as you turn the driven plate.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the driven
plate assembly and/or the facing must be replaced.
Driven Plate Warpage mm(in)
Standard Limit
0.7 (0.028) 1.0 (0.039)
Driven Plate Splined Hub Spline Wear
1. Clean the driven plate splined hub.
2. Install the driven plate to the transmission top gear shaft
spline.
3. Set a surface gauge to the driven plate outside
circumference.
4. Slowly turn the driven plate counterclockwise.
Measure the spline rotation play as you turn the driven
plate.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the driven
plate assembly must be replaced.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make the necessary adjustments, repairs, and part replacements if excessive wear or damage is discovered during
inspection.
Visually check for oil leakage and other damage.
If oil leakage or other damage is discovered during the
inspection; the damper cylinder assembly must be replaced as
a unit.
