Abstract
A wheel hub assembly for a motor vehicle wheel having: a bearing including an outer bearing ring adapted to be affixed with the vehicle chassis and an inner bearing ring having the vehicle wheel mounted thereon; a rotary joint including an inner joint member and an outer joint member rotatively fixed with the inner bearing ring; and a stepped bore provided in the inner bearing ring opening toward the rotary joint and receiving the outer joint member therein. The outer joint member has on its side facing the bearing a centering surface engaging within the stepped bore to provide a centering effect between the outer joint member and the inner bearing ring. The centering surface simultaneously serves as a welding face for a welded joint formed by a low heat welding process between the inner bearing ring and the outer joint member. The outer joint member is also formed with a surface cooperating with the stepped bore of the inner bearing ring and spaced a distance from the inner bearing ring.
