Before performing normal diagnostics in the Workshop Manual (WSM), inspect the rear axle to verify if a damper is installed on the pinion flange. If a damper is present, refer to WSM, Section 100-04 for normal diagnostics. If no damper is present, replace the rear axle drive pinion flange using service part number HC3Z-4851-A. Also, replace the rear pinion seal. Refer to WSM, Section 205-02. For claiming, use causal part 4001 and applicable labor operations in Section 04 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
