Front Drive Shaft

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT




- The spline connection between the transmission side axle drive axle shaft and joint is abolished and changed to an integrated structure. PTJ (Pillow Tripod Joint) type joints are newly used at the transmission side, and light and compact EBJ (High Efficiency Compact Ball Fixed Joint) type joints are used at the wheel side.
- The rollers in the PTJ will not change its attitude even when the joint is angled, as they will slide while rolling in axial directions. The rollers will not be effected by the operating angle and will move smoothly inside in axial directions to reduce friction.
