Scheme 2

1. STEP 1. Check the wheel bearing end play. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the caliper assembly with a wire and remove the brake disc. Fit the dial gauge as shown in the diagram and move the hub in the axial direction to measure the play. Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) Q: Is the wheel bearing end play within the limit? YES: Go to step 2. NO: Replace the part, then go to Step 4 .
2. STEP 2. Check the driveshaft for bent. Q: Is the driveshaft bent? YES: Replace the driveshaft assembly. Then go to Step 3. NO: Go to Step 4 .
3. STEP 3. Check the driveshaft assembly for wear or damage. Q: Is the driveshaft assembly worn or damaged? YES: Replace the driveshaft assembly. Then go to Step 4. NO: There is no action to be taken.
4. STEP 4. Retest the system. Q: Is the abnormal noise eliminated? YES: The procedure is complete. NO: Start over at Step 1 .

Scheme 3

1. STEP 1. Check the oil level. Remove the filler plug and check the gear oil level. Q: Is the gear oil level more than 8 mm (0.3 inch) below the bottom of the filler plug hole? YES: Check the oil leakage from differential carrier, and repair if necessary. Then, refill Mitsubishi Limited Slip Differential Oil (LSD) or equivalent. Then go to Step 9 . NO: Go to Step 2.
2. STEP 2. Check the tooth contact (engagement) of the drive gear and drive pinion (Refer to «DISASSEMBLY»(/mitsubishi/lancer-evolution/ix-2005-2007/remont/differentials-drive-axles/#rear-axle-lancer-evolution) .). Q: Is the tooth contact (engagement) of the drive gear and drive pinion correct? YES: Go to Step 3. NO: Adjust or replace the part. Then go to Step 9 .
3. STEP 3. Check the side bearing for looseness, wear or damage. Q: Is the side bearing loose, worn or damaged? YES: Adjust or replace the part. Then go to Step 9 . NO: Go to Step 4.
4. STEP 4. Check the drive pinion bearing for wear or damage. Q: Is the drive pinion bearing worn or damaged? YES: Adjust or replace the part. Then go to Step 9 . NO: Go to Step 5.
5. STEP 5. Check the drive gear and drive pinion for wear. Q: Is the drive gear or drive pinion worn? YES: Replace the part. Then go to Step 9 . NO: Go to Step 6.
6. STEP 6. Check the side gear spacer or pinion shaft for wear. Q: Is the side gear spacer or pinion shaft worn? YES: Replace the part. Then go to Step 9 . NO: Go to Step 7.
7. STEP 7. Check the drive gear and differential case for wear or damage. Q: Is the drive gear or differential case strained or damaged? YES: Replace the part. Then go to Step 9 . NO: Go to Step 8.
8. STEP 8. Check for foreign material. Q: Is any foreign material found? YES: Remove the foreign material and then inspect for damage. If necessary, replace the part. Then go to Step 9. NO: Go to Step 9.
9. STEP 9. Retest the system. Q: Is the abnormal noise eliminated? YES: The procedure is complete. NO: Start over at Step 1 .
