General Information: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The rear axle has the following features:

The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing (double - row angular contact ball bearing) which incorporates the oil seals and is highly resistant to thrust loads.
The driveshaft incorporates lightweight and compact EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joints.
The rear driveshaft spline diameter on the wheel-side has been increased, improving torsional strength.
The protector cover of magnetic encoder is equipped to driveshaft.
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.
The mechanical type limited slip differential has been equipped.

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. ETJ (High Efficiency Compact Tripod Joint): the lighter and smaller constant velocity joint compared with the conventional TJ has been installed.
