Propeller Shaft - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION For AWD vehicles, 3 way split 4-joint type propeller shaft with center bearing is
adopted, and it has the following features.
The DOJ, which is of less sliding resistance, is used for the No.3 joint. This
reduces the idling vibration. A insulator is located at the center bearing to vehicle body joint, reducing
vibration.
