Section 30 (Rear Axle): General Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The rear axle consists of a knuckle, rear hub, unit bearing. The unit bearing is press-fitted to the rear hub and bolted to the knuckle. Also, the unit bearing utilizes the same type of double row angular contact ball bearing as does the front axle.

ABS rotor for detecting the vehicle speed is located on the hub assembly, and a speed sensor is located on the knuckle.
