If the tooth contact is near the face (face contact), or near the
heel (heel contact), thicken pinion height adjusting washers to
move drive pinion closer to drive gear.
Refer to FFD-36, "
Pinion Height Adjusting Washer" .

If the tooth contact is near the flank (flank contact), or near the
toe (toe contact), thin pinion height adjusting washers to move
drive pinion farther from drive gear.
Refer to FFD-36, "
Pinion Height Adjusting Washer" .
Backlash
1. Remove carrier cover. Refer to FFD-20, "Differential Assembly" .
2. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back-
lash.

If the backlash is outside of the specified value, change the
thickness of side bearing adjusting washer.
Companion Flange Runout
1. Fit a dial indicator onto the companion flange face (inner side of
the propeller shaft mounting bolt holes).
2. Rotate companion flange to check for runout.
3. Fit a test indicator to the inner side of companion flange (socket
diameter).
4. Rotate companion flange to check for runout.
5. If the runout value is outside the runout limit, follow the proce-
dure below to adjust.
a. Check for runout while changing the phase between companion flange and drive pinion by 90° step, and
search for the position where the runout is the minimum.
b. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the phase has been changed, possible cause will be an
assembly malfunction of drive pinion and pinion bearing and malfunction of pinion bearing. Check for
these items and repair if necessary.

Backlash: 0.10 - 0.15 mm (0.0039 - 0.0059 in)
When the backlash is large:
Decrease side bearing adjusting washer thickness.
Refer to FFD-36, "
Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" .
When the backlash is small:
Increase side bearing adjusting washer thickness.
Refer to FFD-36, "
Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" .

General Precautions for Service OperationsNKS003NX

Never work with wet hands.

Xenon headlamp includes high voltage generating part. Be sure
to disconnect battery negative cable (negative terminal) or
power fuse before removing, installing, or touching the xenon
headlamp (including lamp bulb).

Turn the lighting switch OFF before disconnecting and connect-
ing the connector.

When turning the xenon headlamp on and while it is illuminated,
never touch the harness, bulb, and socket of the headlamp.

When checking the headlamp on/off operation, check it on vehi-
cle and with the power connected to the vehicle-side connector.

Do not touch the headlamp bulb glass surface with bare hands or allow oil or grease to get on it. Do not
touch the headlamp bulb just after the headlamp is turned off, because it is very hot.

Install the xenon headlamp bulb socket correctly. If it is installed improperly, high-voltage leak or corona
discharge may occur that can melt the bulb, connector, and housing. Do not illuminate the xenon head-
lamp bulb out of the headlamp housing. Doing so can cause fire and harm your eyes.

When the bulb has burned out, wrap it in a thick vinyl bag and discard. Do not break the bulb.

Leaving the bulb removed from the headlamp housing for a long period of time can deteriorate the perfor-
mance of the lens and reflector (dirt, clouding). Always prepare a new bulb and have it on hand when
replacing the bulb.

When adjusting the headlamp aiming, turn the aiming adjustment screw only in the tightening direction. (If
it is necessary to loosen the screw, first fully loosen the screw, and then turn it in the tightening direction.)

Do not use organic solvent (paint thinner or gasoline) to clean lamps and to remove old sealant.
