The hub portion is disposed in the center bore circumferentially connected to the rotor portion and has inboard and outboard sides. The hub portion has a plurality of extensions radially extending therefrom to radially connect the rotor portion about the hub portion. The hub portion has an inner joint wall formed therethrough having a contour to define a joint bore for torque transfer about an axis. The hub portion has a collar extending from the inner joint wall at the inboard side. The collar has inner and outer sides. The outer side has an inboard inner raceway to house bearings. The inner side defines a receiving bore for rotation about the axis.
