Rear

If the rear differential is equipped with ABS, a speed sensor is installed to the carrier and exciter ring (sensor rotor) to the differential left case.

The differential assemblies using a hypoid bevel pinion and gear is installed to the rear axle. It is set in the conventional type axle housing.

Some of the components such as bevel gear and pinion set are not interchangeable between the front and rear differential assemblies and that the reduction ratio for the manual transmission model is different from that for the automatic transmission model.

The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genuine parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further, because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure between bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lubricate them by hypoid gear oil.
