  1. If the backlash is outside of the specification, change the thickness of the side bearing adjusting washers. If the backlash is greater than specification: Make side bearing adjusting washer thicker on drive gear back side, and side bearing adjusting washer thinner on drive gear tooth side by the same amount. Refer to " «INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT»(ref-320216-S38384461132009071300000) ". If the backlash is less than specification: Make side bearing adjusting washer thinner on drive gear back side, and side bearing adjusting washer thicker on drive gear tooth side by the same amount. Refer to " «INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT»(ref-320216-S38384461132009071300000) ". CAUTION: Do not change the total thickness of side bearing adjusting washers as it will change the side bearing preload torque.

Scheme 146: Companion Flange Runout
  1. Rotate companion flange and check for runout on the outer face of the companion flange using suitable tool. Runout limit : 0.08 mm (0.0031 in) or less
  2. If the runout is outside of the runout limit, follow the procedure below to adjust. Rotate the companion flange on the drive pinion by 90°, 180° and 270° while checking for the position where the runout is minimum. If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after the companion flange has been rotated on the drive pinion, possible cause could be an assembly malfunction of drive pinion and drive pinion bearing or a malfunctioning drive pinion bearing. If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after repair of the assembly of drive pinion and drive pinion bearing or drive pinion bearing, replace the companion flange.
