FRONT AXLE
26-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2260000101072
For the front axle, the unit bearing (double row angu-
lar contact ball bearing) in which the hub and ball
bearing are incorporated has been adopted for the
front wheel bearing, and the EBJ-ETJ type constant
velocity joint for the front driveshaft.
There are the following features.
• The lightweight front driveshaft and compact
EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joint have been
equipped.
• Due to the use of the output shaft, the right and
left driveshafts have been approximately the
same in length, reducing noise, vibration, and
torque steer.
• The front driveshaft spline diameter on the
wheel-side and differential-side has been
increased, improving torsional strength.
• The ABS magnetic encoder for wheel speed
detection has been integrated into the front wheel
bearing, and the protector cover of magnetic
encoder for wheel speed detection has been
equipped to the driveshaft.
• The lead-free grease has been adopted for the
constant velocity joint.
• Hexavalent chromium has been eliminated from
the dust cover material and protector cover of
magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection.
NOTE:
.
EBJ (High Efficiency Compact Birfield Joint): Joint
which is lighter and more compact than BJ (Bir-
field Joint) by increasing the number of balls from
six to eight
ETJ (High Efficiency Compact Tripod Joint): Joint
which is lighter and more compact than TJ (Tri-
pod Joint)
