[26] FRONT AXLE - - GENERAL INFORMATION | PRINT PAGE / INDEX / PRIOR / NEXT

GENERAL INFORMATION
The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles, wheel bearings and drive shafts, and it has the following features: The wheel bearing is a double-row angular contact ball bearing which incorporates the oil seals and is highly resistant to thrust loads. The driveshaft incorporates BJ-PTJ type constant velocity joints with high transmission efficiency for low vibration and noise. The dynamic damper has been mounted on the left driveshaft <2WD, 4WD> and on the right driveshaft <2400> to reduce differential gear noise. Due to the use of the inner shaft and bracket assembly, the right and left drive shafts are approximately the same in length. This reduces noise, vibration and torque steer.<2WD> Due to the use of the output shaft, the right and left drive shafts are approximately the same in length. This reduces noise, vibration and torque steer. <4WD> ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speed is press-fitted to the BJ outer wheel. <Vehicles with ABS> NOTE: PTJ: Pillow Tripod Joint BJ: Birfield Joint
