7F-2 REAR DIFFERENTIAL
General Description
The rear differential assembly for 4WD model uses a hypoid bevel pinion and gear.
The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genuine
parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further, because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure between
bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lubricate them by hypoid gear oil.
The hypoid gears have an advantage of preventing gear noise, at the same time, they require accurate adjust-
ment of tooth contract and backlash.
