Tooth Contact
1.
Apply red lead to the drive gear.
NOTE:
Apply red lead to both faces of three to four gears, at four loca-
tions evenly spaced on the drive gear.
2.
Rotate the drive gear back and forth several times. Then check
for correct drive pinion to drive gear tooth contact as shown.
CAUTION:
Check tooth contact on drive side and reverse side.
●
If the tooth contact is improperly adjusted, adjust the drive pin-
ion height (dimension X).
–
If the tooth contact is near the face (face contact), or near the
heel (heel contact), use a thicker drive pinion height adjusting
washer to move drive pinion closer to the drive gear.

–
If the tooth contact is near the flank (flank contact), or near the
toe (toe contact), use a thinner drive pinion height adjusting
washer to move the drive pinion farther from the drive gear.
Refer to
FFD-35, "Drive Pinion Height Adjusting Washer"
.
Backlash
1.
Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back-
lash.
●
If the backlash is outside of the specification, change the
thickness of the side bearing adjusting washers.
CAUTION:
Do not change the total thickness of side bearing adjusting washers as it will change the side
bearing preload torque.
Companion Flange Runout
1.
Rotate companion flange and check for runout on the compan-
ion flange face (inner side of the bolt holes) and companion
flange inner side (socket diameter) using suitable tool.
2.
If the runout is outside the runout limit, follow the procedure
below to adjust.
a.
Rotate the companion flange on the drive pinion by 90
°
, 180
°
and 270
°
while checking for the position where the runout is
minimum.
b.
If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after the companion
flange has been rotated on the drive pinion, possible cause
could be an assembly malfunction of drive pinion and drive pinion bearing or a malfunctioning drive pinion
bearing.
c.
If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after repair of the assembly of drive pinion and drive pinion
bearing or drive pinion bearing, replace the companion flange.

Differential side shaft
1.

PDIA0441E
Backlash:

If the backlash is less than specification:
Make side bearing adjusting washer thinner on drive
gear back side, and side bearing adjusting washer
thicker on drive gear tooth side by the same amount.

7.
Remove side bearing inner race using Tools as shown.
CAUTION:
●
Do not remove side bearing inner race unless it is being

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Clean the disassembled parts. Then inspect the parts for wear or damage. If wear or damage are found, follow
the measures below.
Drive Pinion and Drive Gear
●
If the drive pinion and drive gear teeth do not mesh or line-up correctly, determine the cause and adjust,
repair, or replace as necessary.
●
If the drive pinion or drive gear are worn, cracked, damaged, pitted or chipped (by friction) noticeably,
replace with new drive pinion and drive gear.
●
Drive pinion and drive gear are supplied in matched sets only. Matching numbers on both drive pinion and
drive gear are etched for verification. If a new drive pinion and drive gear set are being used, verify the
numbers of each drive pinion and drive gear before proceeding with assembly.
Bearing
●
If bearings are chipped (by friction), pitted, worn, rusted, scratched, or unusual noise is coming from bear-
ing, replace with new bearing assembly (as a new set).
●
Bearing must be replaced with a new one whenever disassembled.
Side Gear and Pinion Mate Gear
●
If any cracks or damage are found on the surface of the teeth, replace with new one.
●
If any worn or chipped marks are found on the side of the side gear and pinion mate gear which contact
the thrust washer, replace with new one.
●
Replace both side gear and pinion mate gear as a set when replacing side gear or pinion mate gear.
Side Gear Thrust Washer and Pinion Mate Thrust Washer
●
If any chips (by friction), damage, or unusual wear are found, replace with new one.
Gear Carrier
●
If any wear or cracks are found on the contact sides of gear carrier, replace with new one.
Companion Flange
●
If any chips (about 0.1mm, 0.004 in) or other damage on the companion flange surface which contacts the
front oil seal lips are found, replace with new one.

ADJUSTING AND SELECTING WASHERS
Side Gear Back Clearance
●
Assemble the differential parts if they are disassembled. Refer to
FFD-30, "Differential Assembly"
1.
Place the differential case straight up so that the side gear to be
measured is upward.
2.
Using feeler gauges, measure the clearance between the side
gear back and differential case at three different points, while
rotating the side gear. Average the three readings to calculate
the clearance. (Measure the clearance of the other side as well.)
●
If the side gear back clearance is outside of the specification,
use a thicker or thinner side gear thrust washer to adjust.
Refer to
FFD-35, "Side Gear Thrust Washer"
.
CAUTION:
●
Insert feeler gauges with the same thickness on both
sides to prevent side gear from tilting.
●
Each gear should rotate smoothly without excessive
resistance during differential motion.
●
Select a side gear thrust washer for right and left individ-
ually.
NOTE:
Side gear back clearance is clearance between side gear and differential case for adjusting side gear
backlash.
Drive Pinion Height
1.
Make sure all parts are clean and that the bearings are well lubricated.
2.
Assemble the drive pinion bearings onto the Tool.
PDIA0460E
Side gear back clearance:
0.1 mm (0.004 in) or less.
If the side gear back clearance is greater than
specification:
Use a thicker side gear thrust washer.
If the side gear back clearance is less than
specification:
Use a thinner side gear thrust washer.
