The front axle consists of a knuckle, front hub, unit
bearing and drive shaft. The unit bearing is press-fit-
ted to the front hub and bolted to the knuckle. Also,

ball bearing. The drive shaft has a tripod joint (TJ) on
the transaxle side and a birfield joint (BJ) on the
wheel side. A center bearing and an inner shaft have
been adopted in 3.0L engine.
