GENERAL INFORMATION
FRONT AXLE26-2
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2260000100819
For the front axle, a double-row angular contact ball
bearing with an integral oil seal is adopted as a
wheel bearing, and EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity
joint as a driveshaft.
It has the following features:
•The driveshaft incorporates lightweight and com-
pact EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joints.
•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.
NOTE: .
ETJ (High Efficiency Compact Tripod Joint): the
lighter and smaller constant velocity joint com
-
pared with the conventional TJ has been
installed.
EBJ (High Efficiency Compact Birfield Joint): the
lighter and smaller constant velocity joint com
-
pared with the conventional BJ has been
achieved by adopting the eight small balls.

GENERAL INFORMATION
REAR SUSPENSION34-2
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2340000100977
The trailing arm type multi-link suspension is
adopted.
.
MAIN FEATURES
•The wheel tread is increased to improve corner-
ing ability.
•The roll center height is modified to improve the
steering ability.
•A double crossmember is adopted and the upper
arm, lower arm, toe control arm are joined to the
crossmember to improve suspension alignment
accuracy and maintenance performance.
•Improvement of arms installation accuracy elimi-
nates the camber adjustment to improve mainte-
nance performance.
•The trailing arm bushings are installed in the
upper position to improve the movement of the
suspension when the vehicle negotiates bumps
and increase riding comfort.
•Twin tube type shock absorber is adopted to
secure optimum rolling rigidity and improve the
steering ability.
•A high efficiency ball joint type stabilizer link is
adopted to improve steering ability.
•The toe control arm is installed in the lower posi-
tion to increase toe and camber rigidity and
improve steering ability.

The MacPherson strut type suspension is adopted..
MAIN FEATURES
•The wheel tread is increased to improve corner-
ing ability.
•The roll center height is modified to improve the
steering ability.
•Increased suspension stroke improves road hold-
ing quality, and secures good adhesion even on
bumpy-rough roads to reduce shocks received
when the vehicle negotiates bumps.
•The fully flattened crossmember improves the
left/right direction rigidity of installation points of
the lower arms for high steering ability.
•Tuning of the lower arm bushes improves the
steering ability and riding comfort.
•The stabilizer bar is joined to the strut for high
efficiency to secure the optimum rolling rigidity,
and improves the steering ability.
•Total tuning of struts, springs, and bump rubbers
improves the steering ability and riding comfort.

GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER STEERING37-2
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2370000101003
FEATURES
A hydraulic power steering system has been adopted
to all models.
This steering system offers the following features:
•The support method of the steering gear to the
crossmember is realised by the left and right
internal bushings with inner cylinders. This sup
-
port method achieves higher rigidity of the steer-
ing gear and improves the steering feeling.
•Configuring the optimum flow characteristics and
gear valve feature improves the handling stability.
•Appropriate application of friction to the steering
gear cuts off the disturbance from the road sur
-
face and improves the stability during the
straight-ahead driving.
•Optimisation of the flexible tube in the high pres-
sure hose reduces the pump noise.

STEERING WHEELM2370001000761
The steering wheel is designed to improve operabil-
ity, safety and maintainability and has the following
features:
•Newly designed Three-spoke type has been
adopted. For DE and ES, the steering wheel
made of urethane has been adopted. For GTS,
the steering wheel made of genuine leather has
been adopted.
•Audio remote control, voice control, and cruise
control switches are available on some models.
•Sporty and thick type grip shape has been
adopted.
•Rigid core metal reduces steering wheel vibra-
tion.
•It incorporates an SRS airbag to protect the driver
in the event of a frontal collision.
•The airbag module is equipped with an inflator
that does not contain sodium azide.
•Optimisation of the airbag specifications reduces
the risk of injury to the passengers in a collision.

OIL PUMP
POWER STEERING37-6
Secondary collision
When the driver's body falls against the steering wheel via the
deployed air bag, the column bracket moves forward by
deforming the rivet pin of the one-way capsule, and simulta
-
neously the steering column assembly frees from the pin of col-
umn bracket to move forward and downwards.
OIL PUMPM2370004000373
The oil pump is a vane type with a fluid flow control
system which functions so the steering wheel turning
effort will be reduced at low engine speeds and
increase at higher speeds. The oil pump is essentially the same as the conven-
tional one in construction.
