PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the step of assembling a drive shaft assembly including a hub wheel, bearings, and constant velocity universal joints into a knuckle member. SOLUTION: The hub wheel 10 is plastically joined to the outer joint member 31 of the outboard side constant velocity universal joint 30. The maximum outer diameter dimension D1 of the outboard side constant velocity universal joint 30 is smaller than the minimum inner diameter dimension Dn of the knuckle member 6. The maximum outer dimension D2 of the inboard side constant velocity universal joint 40 is smaller than the minimum inner diameter dimension Dn of the knuckle member 6. After inserting the inboard side constant velocity universal joint 40, a countershaft 2, and the outboard side constant velocity universal joint 30 are inserted into the inner periphery of the knuckle member 6 in this order, the outer peripheral surface 26a of an external member 26 is press-fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the knuckle member 6 for mounting it on a vehicle.
