2006 QX56
REMOVAL
Remove exhaust system components using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean and lube the exhaust tube threads using Tool.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; replace with a new one.

Do not over-torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.

If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on
the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.

Temporarily tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold side and the bolts on the vehicle side. Check
each part for interference with other components, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specifica-
tion.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.

Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration. Tool number

Tooth Contact
1. Apply red lead to the drive gear.
NOTE:
Apply red lead to both faces of three to four gears, at four loca-
tions evenly spaced on the drive gear.
2. Rotate the drive gear back and forth several times. Then check for correct drive pinion to drive gear tooth contact as shown.
CAUTION:
Check tooth contact on drive side and reverse side.
3. If the tooth contact is improperly adjusted, follow the procedure below to adjust the drive pinion height (dimension X).

If the tooth contact is near the face (face contact), or near the
heel (heel contact), use a thicker drive pinion height adjusting
washer to move drive pinion closer to the drive gear.
Refer to FFD-32, "
Drive Pinion Height Adjusting Washer" .

If the tooth contact is near the flank (flank contact), or near the
toe (toe contact), use a thinner drive pinion height adjusting
washer to move the drive pinion farther from the drive gear.
Refer to FFD-32, "
Drive Pinion Height Adjusting Washer" .
Backlash
1. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back-
lash.

If the backlash is outside of the specification, adjust each side
bearing adjuster.
CAUTION:
Do not change the side bearing adjusters by different
amounts as it will change the side bearing preload torque.
Companion Flange Runout
1. Rotate companion flange and check for runout on the compan-ion flange face (inner side of the bolt holes) and companion
flange inner side (socket diameter) using suitable tool.
2. If the runout is outside the runout limit, follow the procedure below to adjust.
a. Rotate the companion flange on the drive pinion by 90 °, 180 °
and 270 ° while checking for the position where the runout is
minimum.
b. If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after the companion flange has been rotated on the drive pin- ion, possible cause could be an assembly malfunction of drive pinion and drive pinion bearing or a mal-
functioning drive pinion bearing.
c. If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after repair of the assembly of drive pinion and drive pinion bearing or drive pinion bearing, replace the companion flange.

outer race out.
CAUTION:
Do not damage gear carrier.

2. Using feeler gauges, measure the clearance between the side
gear back and differential case at three different points, while
rotating the side gear. Average the three readings to calculate
the clearance. (Measure the clearance of the other side as well.)

If the side gear back clearance is outside of the specification,
use a thicker or thinner side gear thrust washer to adjust.
Refer to FFD-32, "
Side Gear Thrust Washer" .
CAUTION:

Insert feeler gauges with the same thickness on both
sides to prevent side gear from tilting.

Each gear should rotate smoothly without excessive
resistance during differential motion.

Select a side gear thrust washer for right and left individ-
ually.
NOTE:
Side gear back clearance is clearance between side gear and differential case for adjusting side gear
backlash.
Drive Pinion Height

Drive gear and drive pinion are supplied in matched sets only.
Matching numbers on both drive pinion and drive gear are
etched for verification. If a new gear set is being used, verify the
numbers of each drive pinion and drive gear before proceeding
with assembly.

The mounting distance from the centerline of the drive gear to the back face of the drive pinion for the
M205 final drive assembly is 103.5 mm (4.0748 inches).
On the button end of each drive pinion, there is etched a plus (+) number, a minus (-) number, or a zero
(0), which indicates the best running position for each particular gear set. This dimension is controlled by
a selective drive pinion height adjusting washer between the drive pinion rear bearing inner race and drive
pinion.
For example: If a drive pinion is etched m+8 (+3), it would require 0.08 mm (0.003 inch) less drive pinion
height adjusting washer than a drive pinion etched “0”. This means decreasing drive pinion height adjust-
ing washer thickness; increases the mounting distance of the drive pinion to 103.6 mm (4.0778 inches). If
a drive pinion is etched m-8 (-3), it would require adding 0.08mm (0.003 inch) more to the drive pinion
height adjusting washer than would be required if the drive pinion were etched “0”. By adding 0.08 mm
(0.003 inch), the mounting distance of the drive pinion was decreased to 103.4 mm (4.0718 inches) which
is just what a m-8 (-3) etching indicated.

To change the drive pinion height, use different drive pinion height adjusting washers which come in differ-
ent thickness.

Use the following tables as a guide for selecting the correct drive pinion height adjusting washer thickness
to add or subtract from the old drive pinion height adjusting washer. Side gear back clearance: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in) or less
If the side gear back clearance is greater than
specification:
Use a thicker side gear thrust washer.
If the side gear back clearance is less than
specification: Use a thinner side gear thrust washer.
