Differential Assembly: Pre-Inspection

  1. Remove differential from transaxle. Install differential carrier on work stand with ring gear in horizontal position. Check ring gear backlash. See Figure. If backlash exceeds specifications, adjust side bearing preload or repair as necessary. Backlash should be .0039-.0059" (.10-.15 mm).
  2. Check ring gear runout. If runout exceeds specification, install a new ring gear. Maximum runout is .0028" (.07 mm). Check teeth contact. Check total pinion preload with a torque wrench. Total preload (starting) should be 5.2-8.7 INCH lbs. (.6-1.0 N.m)
NOTE: Before disassembly, tag bearing cap, outer race and side washer for reference at reassembly.
