Rear Differential Carrier Assembly (w/o Differential Lock)

DIFFERENTIAL: REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY (w/o Differential Lock): INSPECTION

INSPECTION





1. DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR (w/ LSD Differential)
(a) Check that there is no damage or wear to the side gear.
If the side gear is damaged or worn, replace the side gear.
If replacing the side gear, also replace the thrust washer that contacts with it.






2. INSPECT REAR DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR THRUST NO.1 WASHER (w/ LSD Differential)
(a) Using a micrometer, confirm that the contact surface of the thrust washer is even and check that no bare metal is showing.
Standard thickness:
1.77 to 1.86 mm (0.0697 to 0.0732 in.)
If necessary, replace the thrust washers.
HINT: When replacing the thrust washer, also replace the clutch plate that comes into contact with it.





3. INSPECT CLUTCH PLATE (w/ LSD Differential)
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the contact surface of the clutch plate and check that there is no abnormal wear.
Standard thickness:
1.57 to 1.63 mm (0.0618 to 0.0642 in.)
If necessary, replace the clutch plate.






4. INSPECT REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK RETAINER COMPRESSION SPRING (w/ LSD Differential)
(a) Using a vernier calipers, measure the free length of the spring.
Free length:
26.35 mm (1.037 in.)
5. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL PINION AND SIDE GEAR
(a) Check that there is no damage to the differential pinion or differential side gear.
If the differential pinion and/or differential side gear is damaged, replace the differential.
6. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Check that the differential case is not damaged.
If the differential case is damaged, replace it.
