General Information: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
