FRONT AXLE ± Differential Carrier

2. If the backlash exceeds the limit, adjust the differential
gear backlash (Refer to P.26-41).
3. If adjustment is impossible, replace the side gear and
pinion gear as a set.
DRIVE GEAR TOOTH CONTACT
Check the tooth contact of drive gear by following the steps
below.
1. Apply a thin, uniform coat of machine blue to both surfaces
of the drive gear teeth.
2. Insert the special tool between the differential carrier and
the differential case, and then rotate the companion flange
by hand (once in the normal direction, and then once
in the reverse direction) while applying a load to the drive
gear so that the revolution torque (approximately 2.5 ±
2.9 Nm) is applied to the drive pinion.
Caution
If the drive gear is rotated too much, the tooth contact
pattern will become unclear and difficult to check.
3. Check the tooth contact condition of the drive gear and
drive pinion.
