Differential Assembly: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION
The front 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.
^ 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]

[FWD]
^ The driveshaft incorporates lightweight and compact EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joints.
^ Dynamic damper is mounted on both driveshafts [M/T] or driveshaft (RH) [CVT] to reduce differential gear noise.

[AWD]
^ The driveshaft incorporates lightweight and compact EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joints.
^ Due to the use of the output shaft, the right and left driveshafts have been approximately the same in length, reducing noise, vibration, and torque steer.

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 Birfleld Joint): the lighter and smaller constant velocity joint compared with the conventional BJ has been achieved by adopting the eight small balls.
