FRONT AXLE - MEASUREMENT AND ADJUSTMENT

C. DEEP CONTACT

• If the center of the contact mark is too close to the toe of the tooth, push back the pinion shaft and push in the ring gear to the pinion direction so that the back lash is maintained. Then, measure the backlash.

Collar 4 thickness : Increase

Collar 5 thickness : Decrease

Shim 2 thickness : Increase

B. HEEL CONTACT

• If the contact mark is on the deep of the ring gear teeth, push the ring gear away from the pinion and push the pinion into the ring gear (if necessary) to maintain the backlash. Then, measure the backlash for the final time.

D. TIP CONTACT

• If the contact mark is close to the heel of the ring gear teeth, push the pinion shaft toward the ring gear and push the ring gear away from the pinion so that the backlash is maintained. Then, measure the backlash.

Collar 5 thickness : Increase

Shim 2 thickness : Decrease

• If the contact mark is on the deep of the ring gear teeth, pull the ring gear toward the pinion and pull out the pinion from the ring gear (if necessary) to maintain the backlash. Then, measure the backlash for the final time.
