Differential Case

1. Measure clearance between side gear thrust washer and differential case. Clearance between side gear thrust washer and differential case (A - B): Less than 0.15 mm (0.0059 inch)





- The clearance can be adjusted with side gear thrust washer. Refer to the illustration for available side gear thrust washers:
2. Apply gear oil to gear tooth surfaces and thrust surfaces and check to see they turn properly.





3. Install differential case LH and RH.





4. Place differential case on ring gear.
5. Apply Loctite (stud lock) locking agent, or equivalent, to ring gear bolts, and install them.
- Tighten bolts in a criss-cross fashion, lightly tapping bolt head with a hammer.





6. Press-fit side bearing inner cones on differential case with Tool numbers:
(A) ST33230000 (J125805-01)
(B) ST33061000 (J8107-2)
