Abstract
A wheel assembly configured for suspending the wheel of a motor vehicle on one side and includes a brake disc, which is part of a disc brake and which is fixed, when viewed in the radial direction, to a wheel disc on the outer circumference of the wheel assembly in close vicinity to a wheel rim. A brake caliper of the disc brake surrounds the brake disc over the inner circumference of the brake disc and is fixed to a wheel carrier that supports a stationary ring of a wheel bearing, which has a rotating ring that supports a wheel hub that is connected to the wheel disc in a rotationally and axially fixed manner. The connection of the wheel disc to the wheel hub is formed by a press fit connection or by a spur toothing connection, in particular a Voith Hirth coupling.
