SHAFT INSTALLATION
1. After a spacer has been mounted on the back surface of the 

side gear, install the side gear in the differential case.
NOTE: When a new side gear is to be installed, mount a 
medium thickness spacer [0.93 

−

 1.00 mm (0.0366 

−

 0.0395 

inch].

2. Set the washer on the back of each pinion, and put both 

pinions simultaneously in mesh with the side gears. While 
rotating them, install them in position.

3. Insert the pinion shaft.

4. Measure the backlash between the side gear and pinion.

Standard value:
0.025 

− 0.150 mm (0.0010 − 0.0059 inch)

5. If the backlash is out of specification, select a spacer and 

re-measure the backlash.
NOTE: Adjust until the backlashes on both sides are equal.
