General Information: Notes

For the front axle, the unit ball bearing (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 >
• Due to the adoption of Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC), the right and left driveshafts have been approximately the same in length. < AWD with S-AWC >
• 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.
