Inspection

After clearing, check for damage parts or abrasion. Follow the below method, if any are noticed.

Item		Identify
Gear set (drive pinion gear & drive gear)		The gear set must be replaced with a new one if the gear tooth is damaged (crack/pits/dents).
Bearing		The bearing must be replaced with a new one if the bearing roller or race is damaged (crack/pits/dents).
Oil seal		The oil seal must be replaced with a new one if disassembled.
Differential carrier		The carrier must be replaced with a new one if the inside of the carrier bearing is damaged (crack/pits/dents) or a crack is found inside/ouside.
Companion flange		The pinion oil seal must be replaced with a new one if the contact surface is damaged (crack/pits/dents).
Open type	Diff gear set (Diff side gear & diff pinion gear)	The gear set must be replaced with a new one if the gear tooth or tooth surface is damaged (crack/pits/dents).
	Diff washer (Diff side gear washer & diff pinion gear washer)	The wahser must be replaced with a new one if the washer surface is damaged (crack/pits/dents).
LSD type	limited slip differntial assembly	The limited slip differential assembly must be replaced with a new one if a crack is found outside.

Check the tooth contact pattern.

Tooth contact	Contact state	Solution
Standard contact
1. Heel contact		Increase the thickness of the pinion height adjusting shim, and position the drive pinion closer to the center of the drive gear. Also, for backlash adjustment, reposition the drive gear further from the drive pinion.
2. Face contact
3. Toe contact		Decrease the thickness of the pinion height adjusting shim, and position the drive pinion further from the center of the drive gear. Also, for backlash adjustment, reposition the drive gear closer to the drive pinion.
4. Flank contact

1.	Tooth contact pattern is a method for judging the result of the adjustmentof drive pinion height and final drive gear backlash. The adjustment of drivepinion height and final drive gear backlash should be repeated until the toothcontact patterns are similar to the standard tooth contact pattern.

2.	When you cannot obtain a correct pattern, the drive gear and drive pinionhave exceeded their limits. Both gears should be replaced as a set.
