If the clearance is not within the specified value,
parts may have been assembled incorrectly, so
check and reassemble it.
2. INSPECT CENTER DIFFERENTIAL
(a) Pressing and holding the differential spider toward
the differential case RH, measure the pinion's
backlash with a dial indicator as illustrated.
Standard backlash:
0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specified value, refer
to the table below and select a thrust washer which
will ensure that the backlash is within the specified
value.
Thrust washer thickness: mm (in.)
(b) Temporarily install the differential side gear thrust
washer No.2 LH, center differential side gear conical
spring washer and differential case No.2 to the
differential case LH.
HINT:
Ensure that the conical washers is installed
correctly.
(c) Install the differential intermediate case to the above
and fix them with 4 bolts.
