The rear axle consists of rear wheel hub assembly,
knuckles and driveshafts, and has the following fea­tures:

• The wheel bearing incorporates a unit ball bear­ing (double-row angular contact ball bearing) for
reduced friction.

• The rear wheel hub assembly combines the hub,
wheel bearing, housing, and oil seal in a single
unit for fewer parts, better rigidity, improved
assembly precision, and better structural organi­zation.

• The driveshaft on wheel side incorporates an EBJ
type constant velocity joint.

• ABS rotors for detecting the wheel speed are
press-fitted to the EBJ.

• For environmental protection, a lead-free grease
is used on the joints.
