A wheel drive assembly and suspension for a vehicle wheel includes a spindle, a wheel drive shaft that rotates relative to the spindle about an axis of rotation, and an electric motor (18) that has a motor output shaft for driving the wheel drive shaft. A motor housing (40) encloses a speed reducing planetary gear set that is driven by the motor output shaft. The motor output shaft and the wheel drive shaft are co-axial. A suspension arm (24) extends in a direction transverse to the axis of rotation. The suspension arm includes a pivot end (50) attached to a vehicle structure (52) and an attachment end (54) that is rigidly attached to the motor housing such that the electric motor is a structural part of the suspension.
