General information

The scheme of the organization of torque transmission from the transfer case to driving wheels of the car

1 — the Case of differential of the forward bridge 2 — Case (sleeve) of an output shaft of the forward bridge 3 — the Left power shaft	4 — Stupichnaya assembly 5 — the Transfer case 6 — the Case of differential of the back bridge

Peredny Bridge

Torque transmission from the driveshaft to forward wheels of the car in the mode 4WD is provided the gipoidny main transfer and pair of equal angular speeds of power shafts equipped with hinges equipped with not blocked differential.

Between differential and the left power shaft in a sleeve of the bridge the output shaft of a reducer is established.

Naves of forward wheels are standardly completed with automatic couplings of a free wheeling with the vacuum drive which can be in case of need replaced automatic obgonny, or mechanical with manual switching.

Zadny Bridge

Zadny Bridge has not cutting design. Placed in a case of the bridge of steam of half shafts of the drive of wheels are entered into gearing with side gear wheels of not blocked differential of the gipoidny main transfer perceiving torque from the back driveshaft. On the all-wheel drive petrol models equipped with the DOHC engine, the back bridge can be completed optionally with self-locking differential of limited slipping (LSD).
