The wheel knuckle is forged and machined and is located between the upper and lower control arms. Two ball joints are pressed into the fist. The lower ball joint is secured with a retaining ring. The ball joints are located between the brackets on the upper and lower control arms and are attached to the arms with bolts and self-locking nuts.
A tapered roller bearing of the rear wheel is pressed into the hole in the wheel knuckle, which is fixed with a retaining ring. The wheel bearing is a serviceable item. The knuckle has a hole for mounting a wheel speed sensor. Four threaded holes are used to mount the parking brake assembly. The lug on the knuckle is designed to install the parking brake assembly. The two lugs on the knuckle casting are for attaching the rear brake caliper.
The wheel hub is made by casting with subsequent processing and pressed into the wheel bearing in the fist. The hub has a central hole with splines that match the splines on the axle shaft. Five M14 studs are pressed into the wheel hub to secure the wheel with wheel nuts. The rotation of the axle shaft is transmitted through splines to the wheel hub, which rotates on a tapered roller bearing.
