The constant velocity joint on the differential side
of the drive shaft is a TJ type one which ensures
smooth inward-outward sliding movement. A BJ
type joint is used on the hub side.
FEATURES
l
The drive shaft is spline coupled on the different
side and serration coupled on the hub side,
eliminating the need for an axle shaft to allow
for simplicity around the hub.
l
The R.H. drive shaft on VCU type LSD equipped
vehicles has splines provided in two stages on
the T.J.
l ABS equipped vehicles have a wheel speed
detection rotor on the drive shaft BJ outer race
and a speed sensor on the knuckle.
l
The unit bearing is press-fitted in the rear hub.
l The unit bearing consists of inner and outer
races and an oil seal for lower rotating resistance
and higher protection against mud.
l
The rear hub assembly bolted to the knuckle
improves serviceability.
l
The differential carrier is elastically supported
via the bushing of the differential mount bracket
assembly at the front and via the bushings on
the cross member at the rear.
