Differential Side Bearing Preload: Notes
- When adjusting differential side bearing preload, select adjusting shim for differential side bearing. To select adjusting shim, measure clearance "L" between transaxle case and differential side bearing outer race.
- Calculate dimension "L" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the following procedure to meet specification of preload for differential side bearing.
- Preload: 0.15 - 0.21 mm (0.0059 - 0.0083 in)
- Dimension "L" = (L 1
- L 2
) + Preload
- L: Thickness of adjusting shim
- L 1
: Distance between clutch housing case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim
- L 2
: Distance between differential side bearing and transaxle case
