Fill Plug
Drain and fill plug leaks are usually caused by a loose plug. These leaks can by repaired by either
tightening the plug or by using an approved sealer on the threads on the plug.
Other leaks such as axle tube to differential carrier housing or porosity leaks require the
replacement of the rear axle housing.

Measure the rotational force of the axle
using the following procedure:
1. Block the front wheels.
2. Raise and support the vehicle.
Refer to Lifting and Jacking the
Vehicle .
3. Remove the tire and wheel. Refer
to Tire and Wheel Removal and
Installation .
4. Using the J 28733-B Front/Rear
Spindle Remover, measure the
rotational force of the axle. See
Special Tools.
5. Repeat the procedure for the other
axle.
Does the force measure outside the

LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
1. Place the vehicle on a frame-contact hoist, allowing free rotation of the rear wheels.
2. Hold 1 wheel stationary. Slowly rotate the other wheel approximately 1/2 revolution per
second in both the forward and reversed directions. The wheel should rotate freely. The
differential is locking and is broken if both wheels attempt to turn together.
3. Raise the hoist to maximum height with 1 person in the vehicle.
4. Start the engine. Ensure that the engine is operating at low idle speed (warm engine).
5. Apply the service brake. Place the automatic transmission in drive. Depress the clutch and
place the transmission in first gear with a manual transmission.
6. Lock 1 rear wheel by pulling one parking brake cable from under the vehicle with the aid of
an assistant.
7. Release the service brakes or disengage the clutch slowly enough to start the free wheel
turning. The locked rear wheel remains stationary.
8. Increase the speed of the free wheel. The differential will lock, causing the rotating wheel to
stop or both wheels to turn at the same speed. The engine, if equipped with manual
transmission, may stall. In order to cause the differential to lock, you may need to accelerate
the engine until approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) is indicated on the vehicle speedometer. If
the indicated speed can be increased beyond 32 km/h (20 mph) without causing the
differential to lock, the unit is not functioning properly. Rapid release of the brakes or
clutch, or rapid acceleration of the engine, will invalidate the test.
9. Lock the opposite rear wheel and repeat the procedure.
