Differential Carrier, Rear

The installation of the rear differential carrier assembly begins by placing the differential between rear No. 1 differential support and the front side of the rear suspension member with two bolts, two nuts secured at 118 Nm (1200 kgf-cm, 87 ft-lbf). Follow by attaching support bolts through the differential to the rear side of the rear suspension member while using a torque of 137 Nm (1400 kgf-cm, 101 ft-lbf). After installing No. 6 exhaust pipe support bracket install the rear suspension member. Put differential oil into the unit before monitoring and adjusting the oil level using the inspection procedure. Inspect exhaust gas leaks then check and adjust both the rear wheel alignment together. Complete the verification process for the speed sensor signal according to the instructions that apply to vehicles with or without Vehicle Stability Control (VSC).

Begin by removing the differential oil through the use of hexagon wrench (10 mm) to extract the rear differential carrier cover plug and gasket and the rear differential drain plug and gasket. Begin your procedure by uninstalling both rear wheels together with the central exhaust pipe assembly. The first step requires users to detach the propeller and its center bearing shaft assembly along with splitting the rear speed sensors (LH and RH) from the unit and removing the rear axle shaft nuts (LH and RH). The next step should be to divide both No. 3 and No. 2 parking brake cable assemblies and then remove the No. 1 floor under cover and extract both rear strut rod assemblies (LH and RH). Working with HID headlight system vehicles first remove the rear height control sensor sub-assembly but after that you must take out the rear No. 2 suspension arm assemblies (LH and RH) followed by separating the rear No. 1 suspension arm assemblies (LH and RH). Rear drive shaft assemblies (LH and RH) along with their snap rings must be removed before setting the No. 3 floor wire apart (if HID headlight system is present) and extracting the frame wire. The technician should first remove the rear suspension member followed by the differential carrier assembly including differential support through removal of the 2 bolts and 2 nuts (noting their tabs will prevent rotation) and the 3 rear mounting bolts. The mechanism for differential support removal begins by disassembling the 3 bolts then progressing to the rear No. 1 differential support which requires removal of both 2 bolts and two nuts (noting the signature tabs on these fasteners). To replace the component you should first remove the bolt of the rear differential dynamic damper.

The first step for differential carrier replacement requires that you verify ownership of all components needed for the rear differential carrier assembly. First disconnect the associated parts while carefully moving the carrier unit out of its housing space. Examine all components for wear before inserting the new carrier because the carrier removal process has been finished. Check alignment then fasten all connections until you finish the differential carrier installation successfully.

Remove the rear suspension member assembly.

Install the drain plug with a new gasket, torqued to 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf), and add differential oil as necessary.
