GENERAL DESCRIPTIONRWD
^ The front hub assembly which uses a double taper roller bearing is mounted on the knuckle spindle. For vehicles with ABS, a rotor for detecting the wheel speed is press-fitted into the front hub.
4WD
^ The front axle consists of the hub assembly, drive shaft, inner shaft, front deferential. The features are:
^ The wheel bearing uses a double taper roller bearing. For vehicles with ABS, a rotor for detecting the wheel speed is bolted to the brake disc.
^ Drive shafts of almost identical length reduce torque steer. In addition, a DOJ-BJ-type constant velocity ball joint has high power transmission efficiency and reduces vibration and noise.
^ Full time 4WD mechanism has been adopted.
^ There are two types of differential gear. The difference between them is gear ratio.
NOTE:
DOJ: Double Offset Joint
BJ: Birfield Joint
