ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly having an outer stem of a constant velocity joint selectively providing rotational drive torque to a hub at an inboard edge of the hub. The hub is retained by an inboard retention device which also acts to engage an engagement ring used to provide the driving torque to the hub. The preload on the bearings used to support the hub within the steering knuckle of the present invention is not determined by the forces provided by the inboard retainer, but instead are established by interaction between the inner races alone or by the inner races in combination with a tone ring used with an ABS or speed sensing traction control type system.
