GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The front axle on the all wheel drive model uses a
full-time four-wheel drive system, with no disengage
ment feature.
The axle uses a conventional ring and pinion to trans
mit the driving force to the wheels. The gear set trans
fers the driving force at a 90-degree angle from the
propeller shaft to the axle shafts.
The pinion gear is supported by two tapered roller
bearings. The pinion depth is set by a shim pack locat
ed between the gear end of the pinion and the roller
bearing pressed on the pinion. The pinion bearing
preload is set by crushing a collapsible spacer between
the pinion bearings in the axle housing.
DISASSEMBLY
The ring gear bolts to the differential case with left
hand thread bolts.
The differential case is supported in the axle housing
by two tapered roller bearings. The differential and ring
gears are located in relationship to the pinion by thread
ed adjusters.
The differential allows the wheels to turn at different
rates of speed while the axle continues to transmit the
driving force. This prevents tire scuffing while turning
and premature wear on internal axle parts.
The axle identification code is stamped on the top of
the carrier case, along the the machined face.
OF THE AXLE
IN SPEC TIO N
Perform the following checks before disassembling
the axle.
1. Remove the cover from the axle and drain the
lubricant.
2. Check the ring gear backlash. Refer to “ Backlash
A djustm ent.” This inform ation can be used to
determine the cause of the axle problem. It will
also help when setting up the shim packs for locat
ing and preloading the differential case.
3. Inspect the case and oil for metal chips. Determine
where the metal chips came from, such as a bro
ken gear or bearing cage.
4. Determine the cause of the axle problem before
disassembly if possible.
