"WHEEL END ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTORIZED VEHICLE, JOINT AND HUB ASSEMBLY, HUB ASSEMBLY AND PROCESSES TO MAKE A JOINT AND HUB ASSEMBLY AND A WHEEL END ASSEMBLY". A joint and hub assembly (10) and a manufacturing process, by which the brake ovalization is produced, includes a joint (12) and an adjustment bearing (28) pressed into the joint (12), and a hub wheel 14 coupled to the bearing (28) and rotating with respect to the joint (12). The wheel hub (14) has a flange surface (34) that has a relief channel (60) formed therein. Several wheel cases (44) are fitted pressed into the screw opening (42) formed in the relief channel (60). This arrangement provides a flat flange surface (34) to match a rotor (42) to minimize ovalization of the brake. The joint and hub assembly (10) is mounted on a floating tool to finish turning the flange surface (34), to provide minimal ovalization and maximum flatness.
