Differential Assembly: Adjustments

RIGHT CENTRAL JOINT CLEARANCE

1. Using the dial gauge measure the clearance by moving the right central joint.

Clearance: 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.008 - 0.020 in)

2. If the clearance is out of specification, continue with this procedure.
3. Remove the right side cover.
4. Measure the old shim thickness.
5. If the clearance value is more than specification, calculate the thickness of the new shim as described below.

Clearance value - 0.3 mm (0.012 in) = Plus value
Old shim thickness + Plus value = New shim thickness

Example 1:
Clearance value: 0.7 mm (0.028 in)
Old shim thickness: 2.3 mm (0.091 in)

0.7 mm - 0.3 mm = 0.4 mm
2.3 mm + 0.4 mm = 2.7 mm (0.106 in)
Select shim I.

If the clearance value is less than specification, calculate the thickness of the new shim as described below.

0.3 mm (0.012 in) - Clearance value = Minus value
Old shim thickness - Minus value = New shim thickness

Example 2:
Clearance value: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
Old shim thickness: 2.3 mm (0.091 in)
0.3mm-0.1 mm=O.2mm
2.3 mm -0.2 mm = 2.1 mm (0.083 in)
Select shim F.
