GENERAL INFORMATION

M1261000100422

The front axle consists of front hub unit bearings,
knuckles and driveshafts, and it has the following
features:

• The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing

(double-row angular contact ball bearing) for
reduced friction.

• The wheel bearing incorporates vehicle speed

detection magnetic encoder for ABS to reduce
the quantity of parts.

• The front wheel hub assembly combines the hub,

wheel bearing, housing, and oil seal in a single
unit for fewer parts, better durability, improved
assembly precision, and better structural
organization.

• The driveshaft incorporates BJ-TJ type constant

velocity joints with high transmission efficiency for
low vibration and noise.

• The dynamic damper is mounted on the left

driveshaft <M/T, A/T> and on the right driveshaft
<A/T> to reduce differential gear noise.

• Due to the use of the inner shaft and bracket

assembly, the right and left drive shafts are
approximately the same in length. This reduces
noise, vibration and torque steer. <M/T, LH drive
vehicles with A/T

− High ground clearance

suspension (optional) >

• For environmental protection, a lead-free grease

is used on the joints.
