differential gears

[deval]

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.

thanks again...

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?

[deval]

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?
