The present invention relates to a wheel mounting assembly for a walkerapparatus. Theassembly has a pivotable wheel fork and a frame portion. A shaft is coupled toa first one of thewheel fork and the frame portion and is rotatably connected to a second one ofthe wheel forkand the frame portion. A bearing is interposed between the second one of thewheel fork and theframe portion and the shaft. The assembly has an alignment member with a firstportion shapedto extend around and abut with the shaft. The alignment member has a resilientsecond portionconfigured to slidably engage with the second one of the wheel fork and theframe portion. Thesecond portion of the alignment member is spaced-apart from the bearing. Thealignmentmember thereby rotatably aligns and further supports pivoting of the wheelfork about the shaft.
