Differential Side Bearing Preload
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- When adjusting differential side bearing preload, select adjusting shim for differential side bearing. To select adjusting shim, measure clearance "L" between transaxle case and differential side bearing outer race. Refer to
"DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING ADJUSTING SHIM(S) ".CAUTION: Up to 2 adjusting shims can be selected.
- Calculate dimension "L" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the following procedure to satisfy specification of preload for differential side bearing.
Preload : Refer to "BEARING PRELOAD ".
Dimension "L" = (L1 - L2) + Preload
L : Thickness of adjusting shim
L1 : Distance between transaxle case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim
L2 : Distance between differential side bearing outer race and clutch housing end face
- Using a depth micrometer and straightedge, measure dimension "L1 " between transaxle case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim.
- Install differential side bearing outer race onto differential side bearing on final gear side. Holding lightly differential side bearing outer race horizontally by hand, rotate final gear five times or more (for smooth movement of bearing roller).
- Using a depth micrometer and straightedge as shown in the figure, measure dimension "L2 " between differential side bearing outer race and clutch housing end face.CAUTION: "L2 " : Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and use the average value.
- Install selected differential side bearing adjusting shim and then install differential side bearing outer race (transaxle case side) using the drift.CAUTION: Replace differential side bearing and differential side bearing outer race as a set.
