A knuckle-hub assembly is assembled using a retainer. The method includes inserting a retainer a recess on an inner radial surface of a knuckle or an outer radial surface of a wheel hub. Here, a portion of the retainer preferably extends out of the recess in which it is inserted. The method includes sliding the wheel hub into a passage of the knuckle and compressing the retainer. The method includes juxtaposing the recesses. The retainer preferably at least partially relaxes so that a portion of the retainer is in the recess of the knuckle and a portion is in the recess of the wheel hub. The retainer preferably includes an angled flange portion.
