  1. 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.)
    If the backlash is not within the specified range, install the correct thrust washer to the side gear.
  1. 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)
    If the backlash is not within the specified range, install a thrust washer of a different thickness.
