Ring to Pinion Gear Engagement (Front Axle)
Final position of front axle pinion is verified by using the
gear contact pattern method as described in the follow-
ing procedure.

Paint the teeth of the ring gear, both drive and coast
side, with a gear marking compound, such as DyKem
Steel Blue.

While applying a light load to the ring gear, rotate the
pinion gear until the ring gear has made one complete
revolution. The drive side pattern should  be located at
the toe  portion of the tooth.  The coast pattern  should
also be at the toe portion of the tooth (Fig. 56).

Study the patterns in the following illustrations and cor-
rect engagement as necessary.
NOTE:  When making changes, note that two variables
are involved. Example: If you have the backlash set cor-
rectly to specifications and you change the pinion posi-
tion shim,  you may  have to  readjust  backlash to  the
correct specification before checking the pattern.
Figure 56
Every gear has a characteristic pattern. The illustrations
show typical patterns only and explain how patterns shift
as gear location is changed. When making pinion posi-
tion changes, shims should be changed in the range of

to .004 in. (.05 to .10 mm) until a correct pattern has
been obtained.
When a change in backlash is required, backlash shims
should  be  changed in  the  range  of  1-1/2 times  the
amount  of backlash  required  to bring  the gears  into
specification. For example, if the backlash needed to be
changed by .004 in. (.10 mm), the shim pack should be
changed by .006 in. (.15 mm) as a starting point.

High backlash is corrected by moving the ring gear clos-
er to the pinion. Low backlash is corrected by moving the
ring gear away from  the pinion. These corrections are
made by switching shims from one side of the differential
case to the other.

Example 1:  Backlash correct.  Thicker pinion  position
shims required (Fig. 57).

Example 2:  Backlash correct.  Thinner pinion  position
shims required (Fig. 58).
