ABSTRACT:
The combination of wheel bearing spindle, steering knuckle and brake support assembly is formed from a one piece casting for use in a steerable driving axle. The wheel bearing spindle portion has a generally conical shape and an axial bore of a shape adapted to receive the driven axle. A brake support portion is integrally formed from the rear surface of the wheel bearing spindle portion and includes convex web member that carries a pair of diametrically opposite brake shoe mounting flanges which are closely spaced to the wheel bearing spindle portion. The steering knuckle portion is integrally formed with and extends rearwardly from the convex web member of the brake support portion and includes a pair of radial arm support members which are formed with radially extending openings contiguous to the rear surface of the brake support web member for seating a kingpin bearing. The arm support members of the steering knuckle portion each terminate with an end collar having an aperture formed therein for mounting a steering linkage rod.
