Front Axle: General Description: Notes

The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles, wheel bearings and driveshafts, and has the following features:

• The wheel bearing incorporates double-row angular contact ball bearing < 2.4L >, a unit ball bearing (double-row angular contact ball bearing) < 3.8L > for reduced friction.
• The front wheel hub assembly combines the hub, wheel bearing, and oil seal in a single unit for fewer parts, better durability, improved assembly precision, and better structural organization < 3.8L >.
• The driveshaft incorporates BJ-TJ type constant velocity joints < 2.4L > and BJ-PTJ type constant velocity joints < 3.8L > 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 < 3.8L-RH >.
• The dynamic damper is mounted on the LH driveshaft < 2.4L, 3.8L > and on the RH driveshaft < 2.4L > to reduce differential gear noise.
• ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speed is press-fitted to the BJ.
