Vehicle suspension with common hub and/or knuckle assembly

A vehicle suspension, comprising:

• a spindle rigidly mounted to a steering knuckle;
• bearings;
• and
• a wheel mounting hub rotatably mounted on the spindle by the bearings, the wheel mounting hub comprising a hub body and a wheel mounting flange, the hub body and the wheel mounting flange being separate components of the wheel mounting hub, thereby permitting replacement of the wheel mounting flange with a different wheel mounting flange associated with a different suspension capacity using the same spindle, hub body, and bearings.

A system for adapting a vehicle suspension to different suspension capacities, the system comprising:

• a spindle rigidly mounted to a steering knuckle;
• bearings;
• and
• multiple wheel mounting hubs, in which each wheel mounting hub is configured to be rotatably mounted on the spindle by the bearings, the wheel mounting hubs including a same hub body internal configuration configured to be rotatably mounted on the spindle by the bearings, but the wheel mounting hubs including respective different wheel mounting flanges.
