differential gears

**deval** · October 19th, 2009 09:52 PM

Hello mga Gurus,

May I know kung narerepair ba ang differential gear. Malaki kasi play ng inner cv joints ko. Kaya I suspect na differential gear ang problem.

Thanks in advance...

deval,
your diffs can be adjusted for contact depth, tooth contact pattern and backlash. the pinion or drive gear can be adjusted fore or aft in relation to the vehicle position, the side gear or driven gear or ring gear can be adjusted crosswise of the longitude of the vehicle. if you are talking about "play", you might be referring to the backlash. this can be adjusted too.

For a front-driver with a stock open diff? Not really.

If you haven't replaced your CV Joints, just replace them... it's more likely those than your differential.

How loose are the CV Joints, and where? Between the axle and the CV, or between the CV and the differential housing?

I already replaced both inner CV joints sir. The loose between the inner CV joint and differential is about 3mm radial play.

Thanks

Time to replace that differential, then... are you sure you got the right size of CV Joints?

**deval** · December 1st, 2009 08:42 PM

yes sir i got the right size of CV Joint. Thanks to all.

lsd for toyota are commonly found on supras of the eighties. there are aftermarket diffs available with different gearings. you can find them in imports magazines

For the Corolla 4AFE, I don't know of any LSDs you can get. There is one available for the 4AGE, came with the 6 speed unit for the Levin. But I don't know if the box will bolt up to the engine or if the differential will fit in the 4AFE box.
