FRONT AXLE26-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2260000100701
The front axle consists of front hub, wheel bearing,
knuckles and driveshafts, and has the following fea
-
tures:
•The wheel bearing incorporates magnetic
encoder for wheel speed sensing.
•The driveshaft incorporates EBJ-TJ type constant
velocity joint <4A9-CVT, 4A9-M/T (LS)>,
EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joint <4A9-M/T
(VR)>, BJ-TJ type constant velocity joint <4G1>.
•The dynamic damper is mounted to reduce differ-
ential gear noise.
•The bracket assembly is mounted to reduce
torque steer. < 4G1>
•For environmental protection, a lead-free grease
is used on the joints.
EBJ(Eight Ball Fixed Joint):The use of the
smaller-sized eight balls inside the joint achieves
weight saving and compact size compared with a
BJ(Birfield Joint).
ETJ(Eco type Tripod Joint):This joint achieves
weight saving and compact size compared with a
TJ(Tripod Joint).
BJ:Birfield Joint

Newly developed MacPherson strut suspension has
been adopted.
•The steering gear box is installed in the lower
position for better cornering performance.
•The roll centre and the kingpin axle are installed
appropriately for better cornering performance.
•The long stroke strut is adopted for sufficient road
holding quality.
•High-rigid and light-weight flat crossmember is
adopted for sufficient suspension rigidity.
•The strut coil spring is installed appropriately for
friction reduction and comfortable ride.
•The coil spring of high tension material is adopted
for weight reduction.
•The open-section lower arm is adopted for weight
reduction.
