Backlash of side gear and pinion gear
Measure the backlash by the following procedure.
Backlash of side gear and pinion gear
- 1Install the left and right drive shafts in the differential assembly.

- 2Support the drive shafts on V-blocks as shown in the figure.
- 3Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.
- 4If not as specified, replace worn and damage parts.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Backlash (side gear and pinion gear) | 0-0.1mm {0-0.004 in} |
Backlash (side gear and pinion gear)
0-0.1mm {0-0.004 in}
