Raise the vehicle on a lift. Make sure it is securely supported, and allow all four wheels to rotate freely.
3.
Shift the transmission into neutral.
4.
Measure the rotating torque with a beam-type torque wrench in the direction shown. Rotate the torque wrench more than two complete turns, and take the maximum reading.
5.
Shift the transmission into low gear, and measure the rotating torque again.
6.
Calculate the rotating torque.
Service Limit:
2.5 N·m (0.25 kgf·m, 1.8 lbf·ft)
7.
Repeat steps 3 through 6 for the other wheel.
8.
Replace the limited slip differential assembly if the rotating torque is lower than the service limit.
