A wheel bearing assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise a wheel hub, at least one inner ring, an outer ring, and one or more rolling elements. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an accommodation space may be formed inward of a vehicle-body-side end portion of the wheel hub to accommodate a constant velocity joint, and a plurality of recesses for accommodating rotating elements of the constant velocity joint are formed on an inner peripheral surface of the accommodation space to be spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first heat-treated hardened portion may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the accommodation space, wherein the first heat-treated hardened portion may be formed to have portions with which the rotating elements of the constant velocity joint is brought into contact. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a second heat-treated hardened portion may formed on an outer peripheral surface of the wheel hub, wherein the first heat-treated hardened portion and the second heat-treated hardened portion may be formed so as not to overlap each other.
