Differential Assembly: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION
For the front axle, the double-row angular contact ball bearing with an integral oil seal is adopted as a wheel bearing, and EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joint as a driveshaft.

It has the following features:
^ The driveshaft incorporates lightweight and compact EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joints.
^ 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. [Vehicles with ABS]

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

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.
