Contact pattern





Corrective action: Increase thickness of drive pinion shim according to the procedures for moving the drive pinion close to hypoid driven gear.





^ Flank contact
Check item: Backlash is too small.
Contact pattern





Corrective action: Reduce the thickness of the drive pinion shim according to the procedures for moving the drive pinion away from the hypoid driven gear.





^ Toe contact (inside contact)
Check item: Teeth contact area is too small.
Contact pattern





Corrective action: Reduce the thickness of the drive pinion shim according to the procedures for moving the drive pinion away from the hypoid driven gear side.





^ Heel contact (outside end contact)
Check item: Teeth contact area is too small.
Contact pattern





Corrective action: Increase the thickness of the drive pinion shim according to the procedures for moving the drive pinion closer to the hypoid driven gear.
