1. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE


    C306378E02

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

    SST
    09528-52010   (09528-05030)

    Standard:
    The front differential side gear does not lock when rotated in either direction.
    1. If the front differential side gear locks, perform all inspections.
    2. If the front differential side gear still locks even after replacing the malfunctioning parts, replace the front differential case.
    3. Replace any parts that do not meet the specification.


2. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION BACKLASH


  1. Install SST as shown in the illustration and tighten it.

    Torque:
    10 N*m{ 102 kgf*cm , 7 ft.*lbf }

  1. Secure the front differential case in a vise between aluminum plates.

    NOTICE:
    Do not overtighten the vise.


    C309132E01

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

    		Front No. 1 Differential Pinion Shaft

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

    Standard Backlash:
    0.20 mm (0.00787 in.) or less

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


3. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION THRUST WASHER


    C288044

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

    Minimum Thickness:
    0.90 mm (0.0354 in.)

    HINT:
    Measure the most worn portion of the front differential pinion thrust washer.
    If the thickness is less than the minimum, replace the front differential pinion thrust washer.


4. INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT


    C199374

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

    Minimum Outer Diameter:
    17.975 mm (0.708 in.)

    HINT:
    Measure the most worn portion of the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft.
    If the outer diameter is less than the minimum, replace the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft.
