11. Apply anti-corrosive oil to the thread and seat of drive pinion
lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut to drive
pinion.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut.
12. Adjust the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque and pinion
bearing preload torque using Tool.
CAUTION:
lAdjust the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tighten-
ing torque first.
lIf the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace
collapsible spacer and tighten it again to adjust. Do not
loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
lAfter adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3
times to check for unusual noise, rotation malfunction,
and other malfunctions.
13. Install differential case assembly. Refer toFFD-32, "
Differential Assembly".
CAUTION:
Do not install rear cover yet.
14. Check and adjust drive gear runout, tooth contact, drive gear to drive pinion backlash, and companion
flange runout. Refer toFFD-18, "
Drive Gear Runout",FFD-19, "To o t h C o n t a c t",FFD-20, "Backlash",
FFD-21, "
Companion Flange Runout".
Recheck above items. Readjust the above description, if necessary.
15. Check total preload torque. Refer toFFD-18, "
Total Preload Torque".
16. Install rear cover. Refer toFFD-32, "
Differential Assembly".
17. Install side shaft assembly. Refer toFFD-35, "
Side Shaft".
Differential Assembly
1. Install side gear thrust washers with the same thickness as the
ones installed prior to disassembly or reinstall the old ones on
the side gears.Tool number A: ST3127S000
Drive pinion lock nut tightening torque:
186 - 294 N·m (19 - 29 kg-m, 138 - 216 ft-lb)

lWhen installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with
the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immedi-
ately.
lUnladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The
spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
lAfter installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
lLock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.
