Abstract: The invention concerns the securing of the wheel carrier of a driven wheel of a motor vehicle, especially a racing or sports vehicle, on the chassis, wherein the force transfer of the drive runs from a chassis-side part of an inside universal joint (6), then through the shaft-side part of the universal joint, a drive shaft (7), a shaft-side part of an outside universal joint (5), and a wheel carrier-side part of this universal joint, to the wheel carrier (3).

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the installation of pretensioned roller bearings (2), in particular angular ball bearings, for example, in wheel carriers of automobiles, airplanes, and the like. The invention is characterized in that the installation apparatus, with a measurement probe (5), lies against a stop, a shoulder, or the like, in the axial area of the bearing race of one roller bearing, on the shaft side, and that upon tightening the shaft nut (3) against the bearing race of the other roller bearing, on the shaft side, its axial shift with respect to the stop is determined, wherein when the shaft nut is tightened, a torque wrench is used to determine the applied torque, which permits it to differentiate between the actual tensioning process of the roller bearing (2) and the previous process to bring the shaft nut (3) to the stop. The invention also concerns an installation apparatus to implement the method.
