Section 05-00: Axle and Driveshaft—Service | 1994 Mustang Workshop Manual |
Check bearing cups for rings, scores, galling, or excessively worn wear patterns. Differential drive pinion bearing cups (4616) must be solidly seated. Check for seating by attempting to insert a 0.04mm (0.0015 inch) feeler between these differential drive pinion bearing cups and the bottoms of their bores.
When operated in the differential drive pinion bearing cups , differential pinion bearings (4630) must turn without roughness. Examine the large roller ends for wear. If the original blend radius has worn to a sharp edge, the differential pinion bearing should be replaced.
If inspection reveals either a worn differential drive pinion bearing cup or a worn differential pinion bearing , both parts should be replaced to avoid damage.
