Front Axle

GENERAL INFORMATION
For the front axle, the double-row angular contact ball bearing with an integral oil seal is used as a wheel bearing, and EBJ-PTJ type constant velocity joint as a driveshaft.

It has the following features:

^ The driveshaft incorporates EBJ-PTJ type constant velocity joints with high transmission efficiency for low vibration and noise.
^ Due to the use of the inner shaft and bracket assembly, the right and left driveshafts are approximately the same in length. This reduces noise, vibration and torque steer. [FWD-RH]
^ The long stem integrated with the differential side constant velocity joint is adopted to streamline the structure.[AWD-RH]
^ Lead-free grease for the constant velocity joint is adopted.
^ Hexavalent chromium is eliminated from the dust cover material.
^ The number of parts is reduced by integrating the magnetic encoder for ABS wheel speed detection into the wheel bearing.

NOTE:
EBJ (High Efficiency Compact Birfield Joint): the lighter and smaller constant velocity joint compared with the conventional BJ has been achieved by adopting the eight small balls. PTJ (Pillow Tripod Joint)
