(3) Insert the special tool at the spline part of differential
case B (right) and check to be sure the side gear (right)
rotates.
Then insert a 0.09 mm in.) feeler gauge to
replace a 0.03 mm in.) gauge.
Insert the special tool at the spline part of the
differential side gear (right) and check to be sure the
side gear (right) does not rotate.
Differential gear backlash
Standard value (clearance in thiust direction of
side gear): 0.03
0.09
m m in.)
NOTE
If the clearance in the thrust direction of the side gear is
within the standard value range, the backlash of the
differential gear is normal.
(6) If the clearance in the thrust direction of the side gear is
not within the standard value range, remove differential
case A and make the adjustment by adjusting the
thickness of the thrust washer (left).
SERVICE POINTS OF DISASSEMBLY
3. REMOVAL OF THE THRUST WASHER (LEFT) 9.
