Abstract
A centering arrangement for aligning a wheel hub with a brake drum is disclosed. The centering arrangement includes a wheel hub, a spoke portion of substantially three-dimensional, circumferential wave shape, and at least three centering pins. The centering pins are formed as ribbed elements and are disposed in a zone remote from the regions of stress occurring in the wheel hub during operative use. Preferably, the centering pins are disposed in the wave troughs of said spoke parts.
