REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
2. Install the pinion mate shaft into the differential case so that it
meets the lock pin holes.
3. Adjust the clearance between rear face of side gear and thrust
washer by selecting the correct thickness side gear thrust
washer. Refer to RFD-26, "
AVAILABLE SIDE GEAR THRUST
WAS HER S" .
Use two feeler gauges as shown to prevent the side gear from
leaning.
SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
NOTE:
A selection of carrier side bearing adjusting washers is required for completion of this procedure.
1. All parts must be clean. The bearings must be well lubricated
with light oil or DEXRON
TM type automatic transmission fluid.
2. Place the differential case assembly, with the side bearing outer
races installed, into the gear carrier.
3. Insert the left and right side bearing adjusting washers in posi-
tion between the side bearings and the gear carrier as shown.

ALL-MODE 4WD SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
LINE PRESSURE SWITCH
1. With the transfer system design, control of the oil pressure provides the transmission of drive torque to the
front wheels. The main pressure to control the oil pressure is referred to as the line pressure.
The line pressure switch determines whether or not adequate line pressure has built up under different
operating conditions.
2. The line pressure switch turns ON when line pressure is produced.
3. The line pressure switch senses line pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
