ABSTRACT:
A bearing and wheel hub retention system adapted for use in a wheel end assembly includes a spindle, a wheel hub adapted to be supported and connected to the spindle for rotation therewith, a bearing assembly adapted to rotatably support the spindle and the wheel hub relative thereto, and a collar. The spindle is provided with an annular groove formed in an outer surface thereof. The groove includes a pair of opposed side walls and a base wall. At least one of the side walls of the groove is an angled side wall. The collar is disposed in the groove of the spindle, and includes at least one angled side wall which cooperates with the angled side wall of the groove so as to produce a ramp like action which is operative to secure the spindle and the wheel hub together and also to preload the bearing assembly to a predetermined preload.
