GENERAL INFORMATION
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).

GENERAL INFORMATION
M2370000100851
Electric power steering system has been adopted for
all models in order to ensure an optimised steering
feeling.
FEATURES
•Improved fuel consumption by reduction of
engine load, and weight saving by decrease of
the number of parts have been achieved with the
introduction of the electric power steering system.
•3-spoke type steering wheel integrated with an
SRS airbag has been adopted.
•Impact-absorbing mechanism and tilt steering
mechanism have been adopted.
