Abstract: A brake adapter arrangement includes a bearing hub that includes a body portion having a first end, a second end and a longitudinally-extending axis extending between the first and second ends, wherein the first end includes at least one first protuberance extending radially outward from the body portion and the second end includes at least one second protuberance extending radially outward from the body portion, and wherein the at least one first protuberance is at least partially linearly misaligned from the at least one second protuberance, and a friction ring having a central opening that receives at least a portion of the bearing hub therein, wherein the friction ring at least partially surrounds the second protuberance of the bearing hub.

Abstract: A vehicle braking arrangement includes an axle member, a brake torque plate having a first portion fixedly coupled to the axle member, and a second portion laterally offset from the first portion, and a brake caliper member coupled to the second portion of the brake torque plate such that the first portion of the brake torque plate is spaced from the brake caliper.

Abstract: A suspension assembly includes an axle member, a first trailing beam assembly and a second trailing beam assembly. The first trailing beam assembly and the second trailing beam assembly each include a first end operably coupled to a vehicle frame and a second end that includes a downwardly opening recess, wherein the recess includes an outer periphery, the axle member is positioned within the recess, and wherein a weld extends about a periphery of the recess, thereby securing the trailing beams to the axle member.
