ABSTRACT:
An inboard bearing retainer for use in a vehicle wheel assembly having a live spindle. The inboard bearing retainer includes a retaining nut adapted to be engaged to an outer diameter of the inboard end of the live spindle. The nut including a flange which provides inboard retention and restrains inboard movement of the wheel bearing relative to the live spindle. The nut also includes a surface which at least partially defines the bearing seat for the wheel bearing. The retaining nut is engaged by a locking assembly mounted to the spindle's inboard end so as to prevent disengagement of the retainer nut from the spindle. In one embodiment, the locking assembly is a one-piece body having a bearing portion, a thrust washer portion and locking tabs which interferingly prevent disengagement of the retainer nut from the live spindle.
