13.11.14 Differential centering, shim calculation
Operation to find the total thickness (Z) of the shims to centering the differential case and the crown wheel.
• Note the highest dimension marked in the main housing (X) (ex. 170.75).
• Note the highest distance between the external races of the bearings assembled on the differential
case (Y) (ex.165.85).
X + 0.1 - Y = Z
Ex: 170.75 + 0.1 – 165.85 = 5.05
• Choose the shims from the F19103201 set, assemble the shims being as closest as possible to the
calculated total thickness.
NOTE: At the first attempt, use two shims of similar thicknesses (ex 2.50mm).
