Limited Slip Differential (LSD) Performance JudgementEDS003IG
lInspection is required when detecting any noise or malfunction while driving or turning. Improper condition
of oil or differential case assembly is suspected. Refer toRFD-3, "
METHOD FOR TROUBLESHOOTING"
.
METHOD FOR TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Check differential gear oil level and differential gear oil leakage. Refer toRFD-9, "Checking Differential
Gear Oil".
2. Changing differential gear oil. Refer toRFD-9, "
Changing Differential Gear Oil".
3. Start engine. Drive for 10 min.
4. Again changing differential gear oil. Refer toRFD-9, "
Changing Differential Gear Oil".
5. Start engine. Drive for 10 min. Check if any noise or improper oil condition is detected.
lIf OK, check differential gear oil level and differential gear oil leakage. Refer toRFD-9, "Checking Differ-
ential Gear Oil".
lIf NG, replace differential case assembly after checking each part of final drive. Refer toRFD-15, "Dis-
assembly and Assembly".
Service Notice or PrecautionsEDS0038Z
lCheck for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
lOverhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dust proof area.
lBefore disassembly completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
lCheck appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
lGaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the unit is disassembled.
lIn principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
lClean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
lBe careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
lWhen applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,
and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
lAlways use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
lAvoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.
lDuring assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new differential gear oil, petroleum
jelly, or multi-purpose grease as specified.

INSTALLATION
1. Install the front oil seal into the axle housing using a suitable
tool.
CAUTION:
lDo not reuse oil seal.
lDo not incline oil seal when installing.
lApply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lip, and gear oil
onto the circumference of oil seal.
2. Align the matching mark of the drive pinion with the mark of the
companion flange, then install the companion flange.
3. Install the washer and drive pinion lock nut. Tighten the nut until
there is zero bearing end play using Tool.

4. Rotate the drive pinion using Tool. Rotating torque should be
equaltothereadingrecordedinstep4aboveduringremoval
plus an additional 0.56 N·m (5 in-lb).
5. If the rotating torque is low, continue to tighten the drive pinion
lock nut in 6.8 N·m (5 ft-lb) increments without overtightening.
Refer toRFD-15, "
COMPONENTS". Tighten until proper rotat-
ing torque is achieved.
CAUTION:
lDo not loosen the drive pinion lock nut to decrease drive
pinion rear bearing rotating torque.
lDo not exceed specified rotating preload torque. If preload torque or rotating torque is exceeded
a new collapsible spacer must be installed.
lDo not exceed maximum tightening torque. If maximum tightening torque is reached prior to
reaching the required rotating torque, the collapsible spacer may have been damaged. Replace
the collapsible spacer.
6. Check the gear oil level. Refer toRFD-9, "
Checking Differential Gear Oil".
7. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of removal.Tool number : ST3127S000
