General Information: Notes

The 2-piece, 3-joint type propeller shaft with a center bearing is adopted.

It has the following features:

• The DOJ, which is of less sliding resistance, is used for the No.2 joint to reduce idling vibration.
• An insulator is installed to the vehicle body joint of the center bearing to reduce vibration.
• Inside the rear propeller shaft, the dynamic damper is integrated to reduce a booming noise caused by the resonance at the high engine speed.
• Adopting the friction welding method, the installation structure is streamlined to reduce weight.
• Lead-free grease is used for the universal joint.
