REAR AXLE27-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1271000100304
The rear axle has the following features:
•The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing (dou-
ble-row angular contact ball bearing) which incor-
porates the oil seals and is highly resistant to a
thrust load.
•ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speeds is
press-fitted to the rear hub.

CAUTION
•Care must be taken not to scratch or damage the teeth of the ABS rotor. The ABS rotor must never
be dropped. If the teeth of the ABS rotor are chipped, resulting in a deformation of the ABS rotor,
it will not be able to accurately detect the wheel rotation speed, and the system will not function
normally.
