General Information: Notes
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.
