They mate the teeth on the axle shaft. The axle hub spins along with the wheels bolted to it and provide power to the wheels in order to rotate.
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 ...
