A passenger automotive vehicle wheel bearing assembly having improved impact Brinell resistance is provided. Due to a controlled gap between a rotating component and a non-rotating component or a vehicle suspension structure, the non-rotating component or the vehicle suspension structure is permitted to share impact loads caused by a sufficient radial or side impact (such as a pothole or curb impact) to the rotating component, thus preventing excessive loads from being transmitted to rolling elements, and providing greater resistance against Brinell impact damage that would generate a noise and/or vibration condition in the bearing assembly. Wheel bearing assemblies according to the invention provide increased impact Brined resistance while avoiding excessive contact between the rotating component and the non-rotating component or the vehicle suspension structure during extreme cornering maneuvers. 1. An automotive vehicle wheel bearing assembly comprisinga wheel mounting component defining an axis;a non-rotating component fixed with respect to a vehicle suspension structure; andbearing elements rotatably coupling the wheel mounting component to the non-rotating component to allow the wheel mounting component to rotate relative to the non-rotating component about the axis;wherein the bearing elements include a first outer raceway and a first inner raceway, the first outer raceway and the first inner raceway rollably retaining a plurality of first rolling elements,wherein a side-impact load transmitting portion of the wheel mounting component is spaced axially from a generally axially facing non-rotating surface fixed with respect to the vehicle suspension structure in an outboard direction by an axial clearance, so that a side impact displacing the side-impact load transmitting portion of the wheel mounting component in the inboard direction by a distance equal to the axial clearance does not cause an impact indentation from the first rolling elements in the first ...

Each wheel assembly has a rotation plate and a steering arm connected thereto. A rod pivotally connects the steering arms, each wheel assembly being rotatably connected to either end of the axle. An air stabilizer assembly is mounted on the axle and is connected to the rod, the air stabilizer assembly having an inflatable damper assembly thereon. An air supply is fluidly connected to an air inlet on the axle, the air inlet being fluidly connected to the damper assembly. The air stabilizer assembly dampens pivotal movement of the wheel assemblies when compressed air from the air reservoir fills the damper assembly. The air stabilizer assembly allows the wheel assemblies to rotate more freely when pressure of the compressed air within the damper assembly is reduced. 1.
