Inspection [08/2014 - 08/2017]: Procedure

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

INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL CASE

Using SST, rotate the differential side gear as shown in the illustration.

SST: 09528-52010
1. 09528-05030

Standard

The front differential side gear does not lock when rotated in either direction.

If the differential side gear locks, perform all remaining inspection procedures.
Replace any parts that do not meet the specifications.
If the differential side gear locks after performing the inspection procedures, replace the differential case.

INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH

Set SST as shown in the illustration and tighten it.

SST: 09528-52010
1. 09528-05010
2. 09953-05010

Torque: 10 N*m (102 kgf*cm, 7 ft.*lbf)

Turn

Hold

Hold the differential case in a vise between aluminum plates.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten the vise.

Install the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft to the front differential pinion as shown in the illustration.

*1	Front No. 1 Differential Pinion Shaft

Using SST and a dial indicator, measure the front differential pinion backlash.

SST: 09528-52010
1. 09528-05010
2. 09953-05010

Standard backlash

0.20 mm (0.00787 in.) or less

If the backlash is not as specified, replace the front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers with washers of a different thickness. Use the table below to select a front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer which will ensure that the backlash is within the specification.

Front No. 1 Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer Thickness

Part No.	Thickness (mm (in.))
41361-73050	0.90 (0.0354)
41361-73010	1.00 (0.0394)
41361-73020	1.10 (0.0433)
41361-73030	1.20 (0.0472)

HINT:

Select front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers of the same thickness for both the right and left side.

INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION THRUST WASHER

Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the front differential pinion thrust washer.

Minimum thickness

0.90 mm (0.0354 in.)

If the thickness is less than the minimum, replace the front differential pinion thrust washer.

HINT:

Measure the worn area.

INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT

Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter of the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft.

Minimum outer diameter

17.975 mm (0.708 in.)

If the outer diameter is less than the minimum, replace the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft.

HINT:

Measure the worn area.
