>> C << LSD Differential Torque Check

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Use the following special tools to check for differential torque.
- Base (MB990989)
- Tool A (MB990990)
  Standard value:
  
  < When a new clutch plate is used >:
  
  2. 1 - 2.9 N.m (18.6 - 25.7 in-lb)
  
  < When the current clutch plate is reused >:
  
  2. 1 - 2.9 N.m (18.6 - 25.7 in-lb)
NOTE: Before measuring the differential torque, first turn the gears so they snug each other, then take measurements during rotation.
