5. Measurement of backlash (Selection of washer)

(1) Install the SUBARU genuine axle shaft to differential case.

Part No.    38415AA070 AXLE SHAFT

(2) Measure the gear backlash using ST1 and ST2, and then insert ST2 from the access window of the case.

ST1    498247001 MAGNET BASE
ST2    498247100 DIAL GAUGE

NOTE:

Measure the backlash by placing the differential bevel pinion tooth against two differential bevel gear teeth.

Fix the differential bevel pinion gear in place with a screwdriver or similar tool when measuring.

Standard:

0.13 — 0.18 mm (0.0051 — 0.0071 in)
