Front Differential Assembly: Assembly

Install bevel gear and bevel pinion together with washers, and insert pinion shaft.
NOTE: Face the chamfered side of washer toward gear.

Fig 1: Installing Bevel Gear, Bevel Pinion & Pinion Shaft
Measure backlash between bevel gear and pinion. If it is not within specifications, install a suitable washer to adjust it. See ADJUSTMENT .
NOTE: Be sure the pinion gear tooth contacts adjacent gear teeth during measurement.
