Drive Gear RUNOUT On Backside

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Set a dial gauge against the backside of the drive gear. Rotate the drive gear to measure the runout.

    Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) 

  2. When the runout exceeds the limit, check for the foreign material between the backside of the drive gear and the differential gear case, and looseness of the drive gear mounting bolt.
  3. When the runout measured in step  2 is normal, change the position of the drive gear and differential case, and measure the runout again.
  4. If the adjustment is not possible, replace the differential case or the drive gear and the drive pinion as a set.
