REASSEMBLY
1. ASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Coat the 2 side gear thrust washers and 2 pinion thrust
washers with ATF.
(b) Install the 2 side gears, 2 pinions and 4 thrust washers to
the case.
(c) Check the side gear backlash.
Measure the side gear backlash while pushing one pinion
gear toward the case.
Standard backlash:
0.05 ± 0.20 mm (0.0020 ± 0.0079 in.)
Referring to the table below, select thrust washers
which backlash is surely within the specified range.
Select washers of the same size for both sides.
Thrust washer thickness

0.95 mm (0.0374 in.)1.10 mm (0.0433 in.)
1.00 mm (0.0394 in.)1.15 mm (0.0453 in.)
1.05 mm (0.0414 in.)1.20 mm (0.0472 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specified range, install a thrust
washer of a different thickness.
(d) Using a pin punch and a hammer, install the straight pin.
(e) Stake the differential case.
2. INSTALL 2 TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS
CAUTION:
A: The one which has bigger rollers
(The number of rollers is 22.)
B: The one which has smaller rollers
(The number of rollers is 24.)

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TIRE
(a) Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.
Cold tire inflation pressure:
(Tire size: P175/65R14 84S)
FrontRear
240 kPa (2.4 kgf/cm2, 35 psi)230 kPa (2.3 kgf/cm2, 33 psi)
(b) Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less
2. ROTATING TIRES
HINT:
See the illustration for where to rotate each tire.
3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off±the±car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On±the±car balance.
Imbalance after adjustment: 8.0 g (0.018 lb) or less
4. CHECK WHEEL BEARING LOOSENESS
(a) Using a dial indicator, check the backlash near the center
of the axle hub.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the backlash exceeds the maximum, replace the bearing.
(b) Using a dial indicator, check the deviation at the surface
of the axle hub outside the hub bolt.
Maximum: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If the deviation exceeds the maximum, replace the axle hub.

NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle
height to the specified value.
If the vehicle height is not the specified value, try to adjust it by
pushing down on or lifting the body.

INCLINATION
Camber, caster and steering axis inclination:
Camber

If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the spe-
cified values, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, re-
check the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.
4. ADJUST CAMBER
NOTICE:
After the camber has been adjusted, inspect the toe±in.
(a) Remove the front wheel.
(b) Remove the 2 nuts on the lower side of the shock absorb-
er.
If reusing the bolts and/or nuts, coat the threads of nuts with en-
gine oil.
(c) Clean the installation surfaces of the shock absorber and
the steering knuckle.
(d) Temporarily install the 2 nuts.
