Differential Case Inspection

Measure the differential side gear backlash while holding 1 pinion gear toward the case.

Standard backlash:

0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.00196 to 0.00787 in.)

Referring to the table below, select thrust washers which will ensure that the backlash is within the specified range for both sides.

Thrust Washer Thickness:

Thickness mm (in.)	Thickness (mm (in.))
0.95 (0.0374)	1.10 (0.0433)
1.00 (0.0394)	1.15 (0.0453)
1.05 (0.0413)	1.20 (0.0472)
