LOW TOOTH CONTACT
- In figure C it will be observed that the tooth contact is heavy on the
drive gear flank or dedendum, i.e. Low Tooth Contact. This is the opposite condition from that
shown in B and is therefore corrected by moving the pinion out of mesh, i.e. increase the pinion
cone setting distance by removing shims from between the pinion inner bearing cup and
housing, and removing the same thickness of preload shims from between the pinion bearing
spacer or the shoulder of the pinion shank and the outer bearing cone. This correction has a
tendency to move the tooth bearing towards the heel on drive, and toe on coast, and it may
therefore be necessary after making this change to adjust
the
drive gear as described in sections
D and E.
(D)
TOE CONTACT
- Figure D shows an example of toe contact which occurs when the bearing is
concentrated at the small end of the tooth. To rectify this condition, move the drive gear out of
mesh, i.e. increase backlash, by transferring shims from the drive side of the differential to the
opposite side.
