Determining average backlash
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.
| Example: | ||
| 1st Measurement | 0.28 mm | |
| + | 2nd Measurement | 0.30 mm |
| + | 3rd Measurement | 0.30 mm |
| + | 4th Measurement | 0.28 mm |
| = | Sum of measured values | 1.16 mm |
- Result: The average backlash is 1.16 divided by 4 = 0.29 mm
NOTE:
If the individual measurements differ by more than 0.06 mm from each other, the installation of the ring gear or the final drive set itself is not correct. Check installation; replace final drive set, if necessary.
