b. Install the 2 side gears with the thrust washers, 2 pinion gears, 2 pinion gear thrust washers and

pinion shaft.

HINT:



Align the holes for the straight pin in the differential case and pinion shaft.



Apply hypoid gear oil to each sliding surface and rotating part.

c. Using a dial indicator, measure the side gear backlash while holding one pinion gear toward the

differential case.

Standard backlash: 0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.00197 to 0.00788 in.)

If the backlash is not within the specified value, replace the side gear thrust washer with an
appropriate thickness.
