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>
