Front

The differential assemblies using a hypoid bevel pinion and gear are installed to the front and rear axles. The differential is set in the conventional type axle housing.

The reduction ratio for the manual transmission model is different from that for the automatic transmission model.

The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genuine parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further, because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure between bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lubricate them by hypoid gear oil.
