2. Wheel hub assembly - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_hub_assembly

   A roller bearing between the axle hub and axle shaft ensures easy rotation of the non-drive wheels. On the axle side, it is mounted to the holding bracket from the chassis; on the disc side, the wheel is mounted to the bolts of the WHA. When replacing, a wheel hub assembly should be torqued to the vehicle's specifications to prevent failure. [1]

3. Centerlock wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerlock_wheel

   A centerlock wheel is a type of automobile wheel in which the wheel is fastened to the axle using a single, central nut, instead of the more common ring of 4 or 5 lug nuts or bolts. It is mostly used in racing and high end sports cars.

4. Loose wheel nut indicator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loose_wheel_nut_indicator

   A single wheel nut indicator. A common type of loose wheel nut indicators are small pointed tags, usually made of fluorescent orange or yellow plastic, which are fixed to the lug nuts of the wheels of large vehicles. [2] The tag rotates with the nut, and if the nut becomes loose, the point of the tag shifts noticeably out of alignment with the ...

5. Axle - Wikipedia

   Full-floating axle shafts are retained by a flange bolted to the hub, while the hub and bearings are retained on the spindle by a large nut. In contrast, a semi-floating design carries the weight of the vehicle on the axle shaft itself; there is a single bearing at the end of the axle housing that carries the load from the axle and that the ...

6. Effective torque - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_torque

   Effective torque (often referred to as wheel torque or torque to the wheels) is a concept primarily associated with automotive tuning. Torque can be measured using a dynamometer. Common units used in automotive applications can include foot-pounds and Newton·meters. [1] The formula for effective torque to the wheels is: [2] Tw = Te * N tf * η ...

7. Wheel stud - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_stud

   Wheel hub with disc brake and 5 wheel studs. Wheel studs are the threaded fasteners that hold on the wheels of many automobiles. They are semi-permanently mounted directly to the vehicle hub, usually through the brake drum or brake disk. Lug nuts are fastened onto the wheel stud to secure the wheel. When a wheel is removed for tire changes etc ...

8. Locking hubs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_hubs

   The hub is a component where the wheel is directly mounted to, and is outside the axle. The benefits of unlocking hubs for normal road use are mainly found in increased fuel efficiency . When the front hubs are locked, even if no power is sent to the front axle (by means of a transfer case ), the turning of the wheels will still spin the front ...

9. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   Another variation of lug nut is the "locking wheel nut", which is used as a theft prevention method to keep thieves from stealing a vehicle's wheels. When utilizing locking wheel nuts, one standard lug nut on each wheel is replaced with a nut that requires a unique key (typically a computer-designed, rounded star shape) to fit and remove the nut.
