HYPOID DRIVEN GEAR BACKLASH

Using a dial gauge, check the backlash of hypoid driven gear.

Hypoid driven gear backlash

0.10 - 0.20 mm (0.004 - 0.008 in)

If the hypoid driven gear backlash is not within the specification, adjust the side retainer shim or repair if necessary.

HYPOID DRIVEN GEAR RUNOUT ON ITS BACK SURFACE

Using a dial gauge, check the hypoid driven gear back surface runout.

Hypoid driven gear back surface runout

0.05 mm (0.002 in)

If the hypoid driven gear runout exceeds specification, replace the hypoid driven gear.

TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN HYPOID DRIVEN GEAR AND DRIVE PINION

Inspect the tooth contact between the hypoid driven gear and drive pinion. < Ref. to ASSEMBLY , Rear Differential . >

TOTAL PRELOAD

Using a spring scale, check the total preload.

Total preload

20.7 - 54.4 N (2.1 - 5.5 kgf, 4.7 - 12.2 lbf)

If the total preload is not within the specification, adjust the side retainer shim.

Scheme 100

1. If rust or dirt is attached to the companion flange, remove them.
2. Set a dial gauge at a companion flange surface (mating surface of propeller shaft and companion flange), and then measure the companion flange runout. Limit of runout: 0.08 mm (0.003 in)
3. Set the gauge inside of the companion flange, and measure the runout. Limit of runout: 0.08 mm (0.003 in)
4. If either runout exceeds the limit, move the phase of companion flange and drive pinion 90° each, and find the point where the runout is within the limit.
5. If the runout exceeds the limit after changing the phase, replace the companion flange and recheck the runout.
6. If the runout exceeds the limit after replacing the companion flange, the drive pinion may be assembled incorrectly or bearing is faulty.
