those removed. Shims must be equal in thickness on both sides. Install
shims on each side of case assembly. Install case assembly in
differential carrier housing.
2) Push case assembly fully to one side of carrier. Using 2
feeler gauges (feeler gauges 180 degrees opposed), measure clearance
between carrier and side bearing. Remove shims from one side of
differential carrier.
3) Measure thickness of shims removed. Add .002" (.05 mm) to\
50% of measured clearance and then add thickness measurement of
removed shim. This is thickness of new shim that should be installed
on each side of case. Install equal thickness shims on each side of
case assembly.
NOTE: Ensure zero clearance exists between gear carrier and
adjusting shim.
4) Install side bearing shims and differential case assembly
in differential carrier. Using brass drift, tap shims to fit them to
side bearing outer race. Install bearing caps. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Check ring gear backlash.
Ring Gear Backlash
1) Lock drive pinion in place. Using dial indicator, check
ring gear backlash at heel of ring gear tooth. Measure at 4 locations
of ring gear. Gear backlash should be .004-.006" (.10-.15 mm).
2) If backlash is not within specification, change side
bearing adjusting shims and recheck backlash. See
GEAR TOOTH CONTACT PATTERNS article in GENERAL INFORMATION. Check gear
tooth contact using Prussian Blue.
CAUTION: When changing shims, total thickness of all shims must
remain constant to ensure correct bearing preload.
Ring Gear Runout
Using dial indicator, measure runout at back side of ring
gear. Runout should not exceed .002" (.05 mm). If runout is excessive,\
change ring gear-to-differential case mounting position. Ensure ring
gear mounting bolts are tightened to correct specification. Recheck
runout. Install cover and gasket.
