PROCEDURE

Hide 1.INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH

a.
C282885

Using a dial indicator, measure the front differential side gear backlash while holding one of the front differential pinions toward the front differential case.

Standard Backlash:

0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.00197 to 0.00787 in.)


If the backlash is not within the specified range, replace the front differential side gear thrust washers with one of a different thickness.

Front Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer Thickness:
Part No. Thickness
mm (in.)
41361-52010 1.50 (0.0591)
41361-52020 1.55 (0.0610)
41361-52030 1.60 (0.0630)
41361-52040 1.65 (0.0650)
41361-52050 1.70 (0.0669)
41361-52060 1.75 (0.0689)


HINT:
·

Measure the thickness with a micrometer to select a proper front differential side gear thrust washer as the front differential side gear thrust washers do not have any distinguishing marks.

·

Select front differential side gear thrust washers of the same thickness for both the right and left side.
