ABSTRACT:
A wheel end assembly having a dual wheel configuration includes independently rotating wheel hubs to reduce tire wear. Each wheel hub is supported on an axle spindle via a bearing member. Another bearing member is mounted between the wheel hubs to allow each wheel hub to rotate independently from the other. A fastening assembly retains the hubs on the spindle to prevent linear movement along the spindle.
