MECHANISM AND FUNCTION
Front Axle
Front Axle
Because Front Wheel Drive system is adopted on the vehicle, drive shafts are front axle shafts. The inboard end of the axle shaft is connected to the
differential via a constant velocity joint (double offset joint: DOJ) which provides flexible capabilities in the longitudinal direction while the outboard
end is supported by ball bearings located inside the housing via a Bell Joint (BJ) which features a large operatmg angle.
-
Since the drive shaft employs constant velocity joints, it provides with smooth, even revolution of drive wheel without vibration.
-
The disc hub is engaged to BJ spindle by means of serration and secured by a castle nut and cotter pin via a center piece and washer spring.
Note: After front axle parts have been repaired, toe-in should be adjusted.
