RA-28 REAR AXLE AND SUSPENSION — Differential
2. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
If the runout is greater than maximum, replace a new ring
gear.
Maximum runout: 0.10 mm (0.004 in.)
3. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
If the backlash is not within specification, adjust the side
bearing preload or repair as necessary.
Backlash: 0.13 – 0.18 mm (0.0051 – 0.0071 in.)
4. CHECK TOOTH CONTACT (See page RA-37)
5. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the back-
lash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting):
5 – 8 kg·cm (4.3 – 6.9 in.·lb, 0.5 – 0.8 N·m)
6. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload.
Total preload: In addition to drive pinion preload
4 – 6 kg·cm (3.5 – 5.2 in.·lb, 0.4 – 0.6 N·m)
If necessary, disassembly and inspect a differential.
