(3)  Select a shim that is 0.65—0.95 mm {0.026—0.037 in} thicker than the clearance measured in Step 2 and install it.

(4)  Measure the clearance of the rear axle shaft component on the opposite side using the same procedure in Steps 1 and 2 above.

(5)  Select a shim that is 0.05—0.25 mm {0.002—0.009 in} thicker than the clearance measured in Step 4 and install it.

(6)  Verify that the rear axle bearing end play is within a range of 0.05—0.25 mm {0.002—0.009 in}.

•  If it is not within the range, adjust the rear axle bearing end play again.
