Chapter 6 Front axle(4WD)
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 4WD front axle is a center pivot type. The front wheel drive mechanism is incorporated as a part
of the axle.
The front wheel drive power is taken off the rear transmission and transmitted to the differential in
the front axle where the power is divided into right and left and to the respective final cases.
In the final cases, the transmitted revolution is reduced by the bevel gears to drive the front wheel.
The 4WD mechanism with bevel gears provides wider steering angle and greater durability.
