Differential Case: Inspection
- INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
- Measure the differential side gear backlash while holding 1 pinion gear toward the case.
Standard backlash: 0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.00196 to 0.00787 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specified range, install the correct thrust washers to the side gear.
- Referring to the table below, select thrust washers which will adjust the backlash to within the specified range for both sides.
