Content Conditions and Measures
Hypoid gear  If the gear teeth do not mesh or line-up correctly, determine the cause and adjust or replace as nec-
essary.
 If the gears are worn, cracked, damaged, pitted or chipped (by friction) noticeably, replace with new drive gear and drive pinion as a set.
Bearing  If any chipped (by friction), pitted, worn, rusted or scratched mark, or unusual noise from the bearing
is observed, replace as a bearing assembly (as a new set).
Side gear and Pinion mate
gear  If any cracks or damage on the surface of the tooth is found, replace.
 If any worn or chipped mark on the contact sides of the thrust washer is found, replace.
Side gear thrust washer and
pinion mate thrust washer  If it is chipped (by friction), damaged, or unusually worn, replace.
Oil seal  Whenever disassembled, replace.
 If wear, deterioration of adherence (sealing force lips), or damage is detected on the lips, replace them.
Differential case  If any wear or crack on the contact sides of the differential case is found, replace.
Companion flange  If any chipped mark (about 0.1 mm, 0.004 in) or other damage on the contact sides of the lips of the
companion flange is found, replace.

REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
3. Insert left and right original side bearing adjusting washers inplace between side bearings and gear carrier.
4. Install bearing caps in their correct locations and tighten bearing cap mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to "COMPO-
NENTS".
5. Turn the carrier several times to seat the bearings.
6. Measure the turning torque of the carrier at the drive gear mounting bolts with a spring gauge.
7. If the turning torque is outside the specification, use a thicker/ thinner side bearing adjusting washer to adjust. Refer to RFD-
38, "Inspection and Adjustment".
CAUTION:
Select a side bearing adjust ing washer for right and left
individually.
8. Record the total amount of washer thickness required for the correct carrier side bearing preload.

11. Correct the pinion height washer size by referring to the “pinion head number”.
There are two numbers painted on the drive pinion. The first
one refers to the drive pinion and drive gear as a matched
set. This number should be the same as the number on the
drive gear. The second number is the “pinion head height
number”. It refers to the ideal pinion height from standard
for quietest operation. Use th e following chart to determine
the correct pinion height washer.
12. Select the correct pinion height adjusting washer. Refer to RFD-38, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
13. Remove the J-34309 differential shim selector tool from the final drive housing. Then disassemble to retrieve the pinion bearings.
