  Q: How to remove the differential mount cushion on Toyota Matrix?

  A:

  The first step to remove the Differential mount cushion starts with differential mount member removal. The next step requires the removal of the No. 6 exhaust pipe support bracket. The differential carrier assembly together with differential support should be removed by unscrewing the two rear mounting bolts and two bolts that secure the rear differential to the differential support with attention to the nuts' tabbed design for preventing rotation. Start by using the tools 09570-24011 09316-12010 to remove the rear No. 1 differential mount cushion but be sure the tools avoid the sub-frame and maintain proper bolt direction and equal torque on the 2 holes of the cushion.

  Q: How to install the rear No. 1 differential mount cushion on Toyota Matrix?

  A:

  Install the rear No. 1 differential mount cushion with Special Service Tool: 09570-24011 to achieve seat alignment between 5.0 to 6.0 mm (0.197 to 0.236 in.) at an angle of -3 degrees to +3 degrees from center. A temporary install of the mount cushion onto the member begins before you start using the tool through bolting operations to prevent tilting the parts and requiring grease application on the tool bolts threads. Apply the Special Service Tool 09570-24011 to press down on the entire mount cushion seating area without tipping the bolts and position the protruding part of the cushion upward. Install the differential carrier assembly with the rear No. 1 differential support to the front side of the rear suspension member by applying 2 bolts and 2 nuts which require 118 Nm (1200 kgf-cm, 87 ft-lbf) torque before securing the differential through the installation of support bolts to the rear suspension member's rear side using 2 rear mounting bolts torqued at 137 Nm (1400 kgf-cm, 101 ft-lbf). You should start installation of the rear suspension member by installing the No. 6 exhaust pipe support bracket. Check the differential oil level by adding new oil then performing proper oil inspection and adjustment. Perform exhaust gas leak checks and adjust the wheel alignment while checking the Speed Sensor signal through correct procedures that match the VSC system status of the vehicles.
