[C200]

REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY

INSTALLATION OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE

This procedure will have to be repeated if:

●

Maximum preload is achieved before the minimum pinion
nut torque is reached.

●

Minimum preload is not achieved before maximum pinion
nut torque is reached.

Select side bearing adjusting shim. Refer to

RFD-23, "SIDE

BEARING PRELOAD"

Install differential case assembly with side bearing outer races
into gear carrier.

Insert left and right side bearing adjusting shims in place
between side bearing outer races and differential carrier asse-
bly.

Drive in side bearing spacer with Tool.

Align matchmark on bearing cap with that on differential gear
carrier and install side bearing cap on gear carrier with soft ham-
mer.

RFD

Measure ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash with a dial indicator.

●

If backlash is too small, decrease thickness of right shim and
increase thickness of left shim by the same amount.

●

If backlash is too great, reverse the above procedure.

●

Never change the total amount of shims as it will change the bearing preload.

Check total preload with Tool.

●

When checking preload, turn drive pinion in both direc-
tions several times to seat bearing rollers correctly.

●

If preload is too great, remove the same amount of shim from
each side.

●

If preload is too small, add the same amount of shim to each
side.

●

Never add or remove a different number of shims for
each side as it will change ring gear-to-drive pinion back-
lash.

Recheck ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash because increase or
decrease in thickness of shims will cause change of ring gear-
to-pinion backlash.

Check runout of ring gear with a dial indicator.

●

If backlash varies excessively in different places, the variance
may have resulted from foreign matter caught between the
ring gear and the differential case.

●

If the backlash varies greatly when the runout of the ring gear
is within a specified range, the hypoid gear set or differential
case should be replaced.

10. Check tooth contact. Refer to

RFD-29, "TOOTH CONTACT"

11. Install new rear cover gasket and rear cover.

12. Tighten rear cover bolts.
