Final drive, readjustment sequence

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 17 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi S4, 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi S4, 2008 Audi RS 4, and 2008 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The following procedure is recommended to save time when the drive pinion and ring gear have to be adjusted:

1.) Determine total shim thickness "Stotal" for "S1" + "S2" for the specified preload for taper roller bearings for differential.
2.) Determine total shim thickness "S3" to reproduce the installation position for the drive pinion determined on the test machine in production.
3.) Distribute total shim thickness "Stotal" for "S1" + "S2" so that the specified backlash exists between ring gear and drive pinion.
NOTE: Overview of components and shims. Refer to Position of shims .
