Abstract:
An axle assembly includes an axle housing having a passage. An axle extends through the passage. A bearing supports the axle in the passage. An adaptive bearing preload adjustment system is mounted adjacent the bearing. The adaptive bearing preload adjustment system is selectively activatable to adaptively adjust a preload force on the bearing.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of adaptively adjusting a preload on a vehicle axle bearing comprising:\n sensing a force on an axle of a vehicle; determining a selected preload to support the force; and adjusting the preload on the vehicle axle bearing by shifting a first member of an adaptive bearing preload adjustment system relative to a second member of the adaptive bearing preload adjustment system where at least one of the first and second members abutting the bearing and shifting a ball along a first ramped surface of the first member and a second ramped surface of the second member shifting at least one of the first and second members axially.
