INSPECTION
1. INSPECT RUNOUT OF DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR
(a) Using a dial gauge , check the runout of the ring

0.13 to 0.18 mm (0.0051 to 0.0071 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust
the side bearing preload or repair as necessary.
3. INSPECT RUNOUT OF REAR DRIVE PINION
COMPANION FLANGE SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a dial gauge, measure the runout of the
companion flange vertically and horizontally.

side gear shaft installed.
• Refer to the following table to select 2 thrust
washers which ensures that the backlash is
within the specification.
