FRONT AXLE

GENERAL INFORMATION

M2260000101533

For the front axle, the multi-line angular contact ball 
bearing with an integral oil seal is adopted as a 
wheel bearing, and EBJ-PTJ type constant velocity 
joint as a driveshaft.
It has the following features:

• The lightweight and compact EBJ-type constant 

velocity joint is installed on the wheel side of the 
driveshaft, and the vibration reduced PTJ-type 
constant velocity joint is installed on the differen-
tial side.

• For the driveshaft (RH), instead of the conven-

tional output shaft, the long stem integrated with 
the differential side constant velocity joint is 
adopted to streamline the structure. <4WD>

• Dynamic damper is mounted on driveshaft (RH) 

to reduce differential booming noise. <2000>

• 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 Undercut Joint): 

the lighter and smaller constant velocity joint com-
pared with the conventional BJ has been achieved 
by adopting the eight small balls.

The rear axle has the following features:

• The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing (dou-

ble-row angular contact ball bearing) which incor-
porates the oil seals and is highly resistant to 
thrust loads.

• The number of parts has been reduced by inte-

grating the magnetic encoder for ABS wheel 
speed detection into the wheel bearing.

For the rear axle, the unit ball bearing (double-row 
angular contact ball bearing) in which the hub and 
ball bearing are incorporated has been adopted for 
the wheel bearing, and the EUJ

−ETJ type constant 

velocity joint for the driveshaft.
The following features are also available.

• The lightweight and compact EUJ type constant 

velocity joint has been installed on the wheel side 
of the driveshaft, and the lightweight compact 
ETJ type constant velocity joint has been 
installed on the differential side.

• Adoption of the electronic control 4WD optimizes 

the size of the driveshaft constant velocity joint 
and achieves the weight saving.
