Rear Axle < AWD > - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The rear axle has the following features.
The wheel bearing incorporates a unit ball bearing (double-row angular contact
ball bearing) for reduced friction. The rear wheel hub assembly combines the hub, wheel bearing, housing, and
oil seal in a single unit for fewer parts, better durability, improved assembly
precision, and better structural organization. The drive shaft has BJ-DOJ constant velocity joints. ABS rotor for wheel speed detection is press-fitted onto the drive shaft in
vehicles with ABS.
