ADJUSTMENTS

Pinion Location and Ring Gear Backlash

Two separate adjustments affect pinion and ring gear tooth contact. They are pinion location and backlash.

Individual differences in matching the differential case (4204) and the pinion bearings require the use of shims to locate the pinion for correct contact with the ring gear. Refer to Section 05-02A (7.5-inch) or Section 05-02B (8.8-inch) for shim selection procedures.
