GENERAL INFORMATION




  • A free-wheel mechanism has been adopted which allows selection between 2WD and 4WD to be made while driving.
  • The wheel bearings used are double tapered roller type unit bearings with strong transverse load bearing ability.
  • The EUJ-EDJ constant velocity joint is adopted for the drive shaft to reduce the weight.
  • The resin boot is adopted for the drive shaft boot to reduce the thermal and aging deterioration.
  • Due to the use of the inner shaft, the right and left driveshafts are approximately the same in length. This reduces noise, vibration and torque steer.
  • The independent oil seal is used for the wheel bearing to enhance the muddy water-proof feature. <Vehicles with 17 inch disc brake>
  • The pack seal at the wheel bearing has a seal lip to avoid dirty water ingress.
  • The dust cover and the knuckle are tightened together. This reduces water intrusion from the wheel inside. <Vehicles with 17 inch disc brake>
  • ABS rotors for detecting the wheel speed are press-fitted to the EUJ outer race.
note
    EUJ: High Efficiency Compact Undercut Joint: the lighter and smaller constant velocity joint compared with the conventional UJ has been achieved by adopting the eight small balls instead of six balls.
    EDJ: High Efficiency Compact Double Offset Joint: the lighter and smaller constant velocity joint compared with the conventional DOJ has been achieved by adopting the eight small balls instead of six balls.
