Final Ring Gear Tooth Contact
1. Apply a thin, uniform coat of marking compound to
both sides of the ring gear teeth.





2. Insert a brass rod between the differential carrier and the
differential case, and then rotate the companion flange
by hand (once in the normal direction, and then once in
the reverse direction) while applying a load to the ring
gear [approximately 2.5 to 3.0 Nm (1.8 to 2.2 ft.lbs.)
through the drive pinion] . ( 1 lY628)
Caution
If the ring gear is rotated too’much, the tooth contact pat-
tern will become unclear and difficult to check.
3. Inspect the tooth contact pattern of the ring gear and
drive pinion.
NOTE
Checking the tooth contact pattern is the way ,to confirm
that the adjustments of the pinion height and backlash have
been done properly. Continue to adjust the pinion height and
backlash’ until the tooth contact pattern resembles the stan-
dard pattern.
4. If the correct tooth contact pattern cannot be obtained
even after adjustments have been made, replace the ring
gear and pinion.
Caution
If either the ring gear or the drive pinion is to be replaced,
be sure to replace- them as a set.
