A control method in a motor grader including a running wheel, an inclination mechanism which inclines the running wheel, an operation portion, and a sensor capable of detecting whether or not the running wheel is at an erect position includes outputting from a controller, a control signal for driving the inclination mechanism in response to an operation command in accordance with a state of operation onto the operation portion and stopping output of the control signal in response to the operation command when the sensor detects the erect position.

A wheel-end assembly for a vehicle enabling the direct measurement of the wheel-end position. The wheel-end assembly includes a knuckle having a kingpin bore and a kingpin disposed within the kingpin bore. The knuckle is at least partially rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the kingpin. A knuckle cap assembly is coupled with the kingpin bore adjacent to an end of the kingpin. In addition, a sensor is coupled with the knuckle cap assembly which measures a position of the kingpin relative to the sensor.
