(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of one pinion
gear while holding the differential side gear sub assembly
toward the case.
Standard backlash: 0.05−0.20 mm (0.0020−0.0079 in.)
HINT:
Push the pinion gear of the right side of the differential case.
If the backlash is out of the specification, refer to the table below
and select a thrust washer which will ensure that the backlash
is within the specification.
