A knuckle hub assembly () and a method for manufacturing same whereby brake run out is produced includes a knuckle (), a bearing () press fit into the knuckle (), and a wheel hub () coupled to the bearing () and rotateable with respect to the knuckle (). The wheel hub () has a flange surface () having a relief channel () formed therein. A plurality of wheel studs () are press fit into bolt opening () formed in the relief channel (). This arrangement provides a flat flange surface () for mating with a rotor () to minimize brake run out. The knuckle hub assembly () is mounted into a floating tool for finish turning of the flange surface () to provide minimal run out and maximum flatness.
