A wheel mounting for a vehicle, which includes a rotatable wheel flange connected by an antifriction bearing with a stationary part of the wheel mounting. The wheel flange has pluralities of first and second mounting regions circumferentially around the wheel flange and axially spaced at different respective first and second axial locations along the wheel flange. Each of the regions includes fastening areas to which either a brake disk or a wheel rim may be attached. Rivets, pins, or the like may permit axial mounting of the brake disk with play. Radially inwardly facing, generally semicircular holes in the brake disk enable the brake disk to expand without interference.

Wheel mounting with rotatable wheel flange having different plane

To permit a reliable, compact, low vibration, lightweight wheel bearing unit having a small number of components and useful for the driven wheels of a motor vehicle, there is a connecting part fastened between the bearing arrangement on the wheel flange and a joint bell at the wheel hub and the connecting part extending between them providing elastic damping by the construction thereof.
