ABSTRACT:
An assembly for driving and supporting a wheel has a wheel hub 20 and an outer joint member 31. The wheel hub 20 includes a flange 21 which connects the wheel 5 and the wheel hub 20 together. A constant velocity joint is rotatably supported on a wheel carrier 8 by a supporting means. The constant velocity joint is fixed for torque transmitting purposes and is rotatably supported about an axis by a rolling contact bearing 14 having two rows of rolling contact members 17, 18. Two inter-engaging sets of teeth 29, 29' secure the constant velocity joint to the wheel hub 20. The first set of teeth 29 moves axially in relation to the outer joint member 31 causing the second set of teeth 29' to be formed in a bore 33 within the outer joint member 31 during assembly.
