A drive assembly receives rotational power from an input shaft rotatable about a rotation axis. The drive assembly includes a drive housing to which is mounted a wheel bearing support of a wheel mount that is configured to rotate about the rotation axis on a wheel bearing assembly. A planetary set is coupled between the input shaft and the wheel mount to selectably cause rotation of the wheel mount. The planetary set substantially fits within axial borders of the wheel bearing support and within an inner radial dimension of the wheel bearing support.
