Pinion Bearing Preload

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:

When measuring preload, the rotating speed must be set to 30 RPM.

  1. Remove ring gear shaft assembly from the transfer case. Refer to DISASSEMBLY .
  2. Rotate the companion flange back and forth from 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, binding, sticking, and so on.
  3. Rotate the companion flange at least 20 times to check for smooth operation of the bearing.
  4. Measure the pinion bearing preload with the preload gauge (A) [SST: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)].
