Made for the Infinity IF18-2, the cup joints now feature a stopper from the inside to prevent them from popping out. The timing of the drive transmission to the front tire has also been changed, resulting in milder, easier-to-drive characteristics. The overall weight has been reduced to 23g, 5g lighter than the original.
