General Information: Notes

For the front axle, the unit ball bearing (double-row angular contact ball bearing) with an integral oil seal is used as a wheel bearing, and EBJ-PTJ type constant velocity joint as a driveshaft.

It has the following features:

• The driveshaft incorporates EBJ-PTJ type constant velocity joints with high transmission efficiency for low vibration and noise.
• Dynamic damper is mounted on driveshaft to reduce differential gear noise. < FWD-RH >
• The long stem integrated with the differential side constant velocity joint is adopted to streamline the structure. < AWD-RH >
• Lead-free grease for the constant velocity joint is adopted.
• 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 Birfield Joint): the lighter and smaller constant velocity joint compared with the conventional BJ has been achieved by adopting the eight small balls.
