^ A double-rowed angular type ball bearing that features small rolling friction is used.
^ The bearing is structured as a hub unit bearing where one of its bearing inner race is integrated with the hub, and features light weight and high rigidity.
^ Also, the oil seal is integrated with the bearing.
^ The hub unit, housing and the disk cover, which is sandwiched between them are held together with four bolts.
^ To reduce noise from the front drive shafts, the transmission side drive axle shaft and joint are integrated. PTJ (Pillow Tripod Joint) type constant velocity joints are newly used at the transmission side, and light and compact EBJ (High Efficiency Compact Ball Fixed Joint) type joints are used at the wheel side.
^ The EBJ's spindle is splined to the hub unit and is fastened with an axle nut which is clinched.
