Abstract

See full text

A wheel end assembly comprising upper and lower arms and a tie rod coupled to a wheel carrier at an outer tie rod joint. A pin member is disposed between upper and lower mounting extensions of the wheel carrier or extends from a single mounting extension. The pin member comprises a first end, a second end and an expanded ball portion between the first and second end. The expanded ball portion is offset toward one of the first and second ends. The tie rod joint is defined by a pivotal coupling of the tie rod end to the pin member. A pivot point is defined between the tie rod end and the expanded ball portion, wherein the pivot point is closer to one of the first and second ends of the pin member to align the tie rod with the arms in a substantially parallel orientation to reduce bump steer.
