Differentials: Specifications Lincoln LS I

CAPACITY

System capacity is 3.0 pints (1.4L).

Backlash Not Within Specification (Nodular Iron)

  1. To increase or decrease the backlash, remove the bearing caps and install a thicker shim or a thinner shim. (Схема №90) (Схема №88) If the backlash is not within specification, correct by increasing the thickness of one differential bearing shim, and decreasing the thickness of the other differential bearing shim by the same amount.
  2. Rotate the differential several times to make sure the differential bearings are correctly seated. Do not turn the pinion flange in order to rotate the differential.
  3. Use the dial indicator to recheck the backlash (Схема №87) If the backlash is within specification, go to «Backlash Within Specification (Nodular Iron)»(ref-142042-S09736675832002111100000). If the backlash is not within specification, repeat «Measuring For Backlash (Nodular Iron)»(ref-142042-S02065437642002111100000).
