Purpose, Function
Engine noise and vibration have been reduced due to adoption of a bell joint on the wheel side of the constant velocity joint.
A low noise and vibration double offset joint with low slide resistance has been adopted for the differential side of the constant velocity joint. Due to this booming resonance at high speed is reduced.
An extremely durable plastic has been adopted for the wheel side boot.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Outline
Electrical brake assist control has been adopted, improving safety.
The DSC HU/CM, integrating both the hydraulic unit (HU) and control module
(CM), has been adopted, resulting in a size and weight reduction.
An enhanced malfunction diagnosis system, used with the M ...
Tie Rod Inspection
1. Inspect for bending and damage.
If there is any malfunction, replace the tie rod.
2. Inspect for excessive play.
If there is any malfunction, replace the tie rod.
3. Swing the tie rod five times.
4. Measure the swing torque of the tie rod using a pull scale.
