1. Front drive shafts.
2. Rear drive shafts (4WD all-wheel drive versions).
Bell-shaped housings are used on the constant velocity joint on the wheel side of the drive shafts, which helps reduce vibration and noise levels.
Automatic transmission versions use tripod-type constant velocity joints on the differential side, which helps reduce noise levels at high speeds and vibrations at idle.
For the front drive shafts in versions with manual transmission, as well as for the rear drive shafts, low noise and vibration levels are achieved by using constant velocity ball joints with slip resistance on the differential side. This also reduces resonant hum at high driving speeds.
On the wheel side, dust covers made of extremely durable plastic are used.
By using a right-hand front drive shaft with a coupling shaft, it was possible to significantly reduce the level of vibration and noise while the vehicle is moving compared to a design with a splined connection.
