Overview - Differential

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:

Always replace both differential bearings together.

Adjustments are required when replacing components marked with 1) . The differential mounting is installed with two tapered roller bearings (standard bearing) through transmission production date 08/14/2011.

Adjustments are required when replacing components marked with 2) . The differential mounting is installed with 1 tapered roller bearing and 1 angular contact ball bearing (efficient bearing) from transmission production date 08/15/2011.

With the exception of the tapered roller bearing/angular contact ball bearing, none of the differential components can be replaced at this time. Bearings and adjustment shims allocation. Allocate correct components. .
