Differential Assembly: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION





In the rear axle structure, the unit bearing is press-fitted to the rear hub and bolted to the knuckle. Also, the unit bearing utilizes a double row angular contact ball bearing. The drive shaft has a T.J. on the differential side and a B.J. constant-velocity joint on the wheel side. In vehicles with ABS, a ABS rotor for detecting the vehicle speed is located on the outer ring of the drive shaft B.J., and a speed sensor is located on the knuckle. The differential carrier provides elastic support by means of a bushing. In addition, the VCU-type LSD has been adopted in some models.

NOTE: Denotes the gear (L.H.) which is in a single body with the viscous coupling.
