RJ-1486-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:57

For the snap ring that is to secure the differential side gear inside the transmission and the left front drive shaft together, it may not have sufficient overlapping over the differential side gear due to improper shape. If this problem is left unattended, the snap ring may move towards the centre of the drive shaft during high speed driving, and in the worst case, interlocking between the gear and the shaft would be lost, in which case the vehicle would stall as no driving force would be transmitted to the tyre.
