Abstract

A wheel hub assembly for a non-driven axle including a hub, a bearing retainer ring and a bearing. The bearing retainer ring is secured to the hub by engagement of the wheel mounting studs with the hub. A portion of the bearing retainer ring directly engages and positively provides an axial retention load on the bearing. The resulting structure is a compact and light weight wheel hub assembly having simplified, cost efficient construction.
