GENERAL INFORMATION

M1261000100422

The front axle consists of front hub unit bearings, 
knuckles and driveshafts, and it has the following 
features:

• The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing 

(double-row angular contact ball bearing) for 
reduced friction.

• The wheel bearing incorporates vehicle speed 

detection magnetic encoder for ABS  to reduce 
the quantity of parts.

• The front wheel hub assembly combines the hub, 

wheel bearing, housing, and oil seal in a single 
unit for fewer parts, better durability, improved 
assembly precision, and better structural 
organization.

• The driveshaft incorporates BJ-TJ type constant 

velocity joints with high transmission efficiency for 
low vibration and noise.

• The dynamic damper is mounted on the left 

driveshaft <M/T, A/T> and on the right driveshaft 
<A/T> 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. <M/T, LH drive 
vehicles with A/T

− High ground clearance 

suspension (optional) >

• For environmental protection, a lead-free grease 

is used on the joints.
