Drive Plate RUNOUT Test
Measure drive plate runout. See Figure. If runout exceeds .008" (.20 mm), or if ring gear is damaged, replace drive plate. If installing a new drive plate, note position of spacers. On Corolla and Prizm, tighten bolts to 47 ft. lbs. (64 N.m). On all other models, tighten bolts to 61 ft. lbs. (83 N.m).
