ABSTRACT:
The distance L15in the axial direction between the surface on the axially outside end of the spline shaft28aand the opening edge on the axially inside end of the center hole15of the hub5when the unit is installed, and more preferable the distance L16in the axial direction between this surface on the axially outside end of the spline shaft28aand the edge on the axially inside end of the spline hole16, is greater than the distance L18that the tripod21of the constant-velocity joint18on the differential side can move inward in the axial direction when installed in the automobile. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the spline shaft28from falling out of the center hole15even when the connection member3is damaged, and to maintain the spline connection between the spline shaft28and the spline hole16.
