Abstract
An end cover for enclosing and protecting a vehicle non-driven wheel hub assembly from a vehicle body inner side. The hub assembly includes an outer ring, an inner ring, and two rows of rolling bodies disposed therebetween. The outer and inner rings define an interior space of the hub assembly in a radial direction. An end of the outer ring facing the vehicle body inner side forms a spigot for connection purposes. The end cover is formed having a pressure fitting part tightly fitted to the spigot from a radial direction, and a radial main body part capable of closing the interior space of the hub assembly from an axial direction. The pressure fitting and the radial main body parts form an elastic retainer. The end cover is largely made of a plastic material, and an at least partially contained metal framework is formed in the elastic retaining region.
