Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual — part 1273

GENERAL INFORMATION

M22600000001USA0000010001

For the front axle, the double-row angular contact ball
bearing with an integral oil seal is adopted 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.

｠

Due to the use of the inner shaft and bracket
assembly, the right and left driveshafts are
approximately the same in length. This reduces
noise, vibration and torque steer.<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.

｠

Hexavalent chromium is eliminated from the dust
cover material.

｠

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.
PTJ (Pillow Tripod Joint)
