REAR AXLE Special Tools
The rear axle consists of a knuckle, rear hub, unit
bearing and axle shaft. The unit bearing is
fitted to the rear axle shaft and bolted to the knuckle.
Also, the unit bearing utilizes the same type of
double row angular contact ball bearing as does
the front axle.
On, ABS, a ABS rotor
for detecting the speed is located on the
and sensor is located on
the knuckle.

REAR AXLE General Information.
In the rear axle structure, the unit bearing is
fitted to the rear hub and bolted to the knuckle.
Also, the unit bearing utilizes a double row angula r
contact ball bearing.
The drive shaft has a T.J.
on the differential side and a B.J. constant-veloci ty
joint on the wheel side.
In vehicles with a
rotor for detecting the is
on the outer ring of the drive shaft B.J., and a
speed sensor is located on the knuckle.
The differential carrier provides elastic support b y,
means of a bushing. In addition, the VCU-type LSD
has been adopted in some models.
