Backlash between Differential Pinion and Differential Side
Gear
1. Set a dial gauge (lever type) on a tooth of the differential pinion.
2. Fix the differential side gear and move the differential pinion to
measure the backlash.
3. If the measurement exceeds the factory specifications, adjust
with the differential side gears shims.
(Reference)
• Thickness of adjusting shims
0.4 mm (0.016 in.)
0.6 mm (0.024 in.)
0.8 mm (0.031 in.)
1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
1.2 mm (0.047 in.)
• Tooth contact: More than 35 %

Turning Torque of Spiral Bevel Pinion Shaft (Pinion Shaft Only)
1. Install the spiral bevel pinion shaft assembly only to the front
axle case.
2. Measure the turning torque of spiral bevel pinion shaft.
3. If the turning torque is not within the factory specifications,
adjust with the lock nut.
If the turning torque is not able to adjust by lock nut (2), change
the thickness of collar (1) and adjust with lock nut (2) again.
(Reference)
• Standard size of collar (1): 10.0 mm (0.394 in.) of thickness
NOTE
• After turning torque adjustment, be sure to stake the lock
nut.
