Abstract
A wheel mounting assembly which unifies the suspension strut and trailing control arm in a single unitary member which provides a principal part of a wheel bearing assembly. The unitary member avoids a multiplicity of parts which is a known problem common in the automotive art, and it reduces costs and weight, and results in a simpler job of repair when necessary. The companion member of the mounting system is associated with the wheel to provide a unitary member with the wheel supporting flange and a hollow sleeve to receive a shaft or spline.
