Rotor
AXLE SHAFT
The axle shaft is a semi-floating type supported by
ball bearings (outer and inner) in the housing.
On models with the anti-lock braking system, there is
a wheel speed sensing rotor on the axle shaft.
To prevent mud that may be deposited around the
bearing (outer), a dust shield has been provided.

DRIVE SHAFT
A B.J.-T.J. type constant velocity joint is used in the
drive shaft, featuring the same good transmission ef-
ficiency, low vibration and low noise as the front drive
shaft. On the axle shaft side there is a B.J. type joint
that can bend to a great degree to match movement
of the suspension and on the differential carrier side
there is a
T.J.
type joint that can slide to a large
amount in the shaft direction with little sliding friction.

Two-stage
serration
On the axle shaft side, they are coupled with the
companion flange in between. On the differential side,
they are spline coupled with the side gears, the right
and left drive shafts are different in length. In addition,
the
T.J.
side of the drive shaft (R.H.) is two-stage
serration coupled.
