1. A connecting structure for a wheel bearing and a constant velocity joint connected and assembled by applying a plastic deformation of a material using an orbital forming process or a swaging process, the connecting structure comprising:

  • a coupling groove formed on a hub of the wheel bearing;

    a recess formed on a circumference of a shaft of the constant velocity joint, said shaft being inserted into the hub to be connected with the hub by a spline; and

    a circlip inserted into the recess, said circlip being shrunk in the course of inserting the shaft into the hub, and said circlip being restored to a former state by its elasticity and inserted into the coupling groove when the circlip is positioned on the groove, whereby the circlip is positioned in the groove and the recess.
