Rear Axle

GENERAL INFORMATION
For the rear axle, the unit bearing (double row angular contact ball bearing) in which the hub and ball bearing are incorporated has been adopted for the rear wheel bearing, and the EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joint for the rear driveshaft.
There are the following features.
^ The lightweight rear driveshaft and compact EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joint have been equipped.
^ The rear driveshaft spline diameter on the wheel-side and differential-side (LH) has been increased, improving torsional strength.
^ The ABS magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection has been integrated into the rear wheel bearing, and the protector cover of magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection has been equipped to the driveshaft.
^ The lead-free grease has been adopted for the constant velocity joint.
^ Hexavalent chromium has been eliminated from the dust cover material and protector cover of magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection.
^ The AYC 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.
