SUSPENSION AND AXLE – REAR DIFFERENTIAL

DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER INSPECTION

1. CHECK DRIVE PINION SHAFT RUNOUT
Measure the drive pinion shaft runout at a position 10 mm
(0.39 in.) from the end of the shaft.
Maximum runout:
0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the drive
pinion and/or ring gear.

10 mm (0.39 in.)
R07213

2. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER COVER
(a) Remove the 8 bolts from the carrier cover.
(b) Using a brass bar and hammer, separate the cover and
carrier.

R07083

3. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
Maximum runout:
2JZ–GTE M/T
0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
Except 2JZ–GTE M/T
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the drive
pinion, ring gear and/or differential case.

R00028

4. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Measure the backlash of the ring gear and drive pinion at 3
points (minimum) and check that the average value is within
the specification.
Backlash (average value):
0.08–0.13 mm (0.0031–0.0051 in.)
NOTICE: The difference between the maximum and minimum
measured values must be less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.).
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the ring
gear backlash.
