AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL: REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY: INSTALLATION

NOTICE:
If installing a new rear differential carrier assembly, remove the 2 differential side seal caps before installing the rear drive shaft assembly.

1. TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN NO. 1 REAR DIFFERENTIAL SUPPORT

(a) Temporarily install the No. 1 rear differential support to the rear differential carrier assembly with 2 new bolts and 2 new nuts.





NOTICE:
* Be sure to install the No. 1 rear differential support facing the direction shown in the illustration.
* Be sure to install each nut tabs to position (A) shown in the illustration.

HINT
The nuts have tabs to prevent them from rotating.

2. INSTALL UPPER REAR DIFFERENTIAL MOUNT STOPPER

(a) Install the 2 upper rear differential mount stoppers to the No. 1 rear differential support as shown in the illustration.





3. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL SUPPORT

(a) Install the differential support to the rear differential carrier assembly with 3 new bolts.





Torque : 167 Nm (1700 kgf-cm, 123 ft-lbf)

NOTICE:
Tighten the bolt (A) first shown in the illustration.

4. TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY WITH DIFFERENTIAL SUPPORT

(a) Support the rear differential carrier assembly with differential support with a jack using 3 attachments as shown in the illustration.

(b) Jack up the rear differential carrier assembly with differential support, temporarily install the rear differential carrier assembly with differential support to the front side of the rear suspension member assembly with the 2 lower rear differential mount stoppers, 2 new bolts and 2 new nuts.

NOTICE:
Be sure to install the lower rear differential mount stoppers with the convex side facing upward.

HINT
The nuts have tabs to prevent them from rotating.

(c) Temporarily install the rear differential carrier assembly with differential support and rear differential dynamic damper to the rear side of the rear suspension member assembly with the 2 new rear mounting bolts.

(d) Connect the vacuum hose to the 2 clamps, connect the connector, and install the clamp to the connector bracket.

5. FULLY TIGHTEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY WITH DIFFERENTIAL SUPPORT

NOTICE:
Do not tighten the bolts with the inner cylinder or rear differential mount cushion tilted.

(a) Install the rear differential carrier assembly with differential support and rear differential dynamic damper to the rear side of the rear suspension member assembly with the 2 new rear mounting bolts.





Torque : 95 Nm (970 kgf-cm, 70 ft-lbf)

(b) Tighten the 2 new bolts.





Torque : 86 Nm (877 kgf-cm, 63 ft-lbf)

HINT
* Tighten the bolts only if the No. 1 rear differential support has been removed from the rear differential carrier assembly.
* Lower the jack to the extent that the bolts can still be tightened.

(c) Tighten the rear differential carrier assembly with differential support to the front side of the rear suspension member assembly with the 2 new bolts.





Torque : 80 Nm (816 kgf-cm, 59 ft-lbf)

(d) Lower the jack.

(e) Connect the vacuum hose to the electro magnetic control coupling sub-assembly.
