Front reverse design
Reverse-style gear sets are built to suit a specific axle arrangement, so the design must match the front axle they go into. Comparing the set with the existing front gears helps confirm the match before anything is removed. Check the carrier, the differential case and the pinion position against the replacement, and avoid mixing front and rear parts.
Front axles see steering loads and different angles than rear axles, so the gear mesh and bearing preload need careful setup. Once the gears are installed, look for the contact pattern and listen for noise at both drive and coast. Recheck the carrier and pinion nut torque after the first few drives.
- Match the design to the front axle
- Compare the existing front gears before removal
- Recheck torque after initial use
