Callout	Component Name
1	Front Differential Carrier Assembly CAUTION: Low bearing pre-load will cause premature failure of the front differential drive pinion gear. Procedure Use a dial or beam torque wrench with DT-47793 to measure turning torque. If the turning torque is not within specifications, the transfer gear assembly and differential bearing thrust washer is incorrect and must be corrected. Refer to Front Differential Drive Pinion Gear Bearing Thrust Washer and Front Differential Bearing Washer Measurement . Rotational Torque: 14-22 N.m (10-16 lb ft) Special Tools: DT-47793: Differential Rotating Tool For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
