ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for fatigue stress testing a vehicle wheel or the like includes a plate to which the wheel is mounted, and a clamping system for maintaining the wheel stationary. A nonrotatable shaft is connected to the plate through a bushing. The shaft is connected at a point spaced from the plate to a rotating lateral loading assembly, which rotates relative to the shaft. The lateral loading assembly exerts a lateral force on the shaft simultaneous with rotation of the assembly, so as to cause wobbling of the shaft, which is transferred through the stress plate to the wheel.
