2. Axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

   The overall assembly can carry more weight than a semi-floating or non-floating axle assembly because the hubs have two bearings riding on a fixed spindle. A full-floating axle can be identified by a protruding hub to which the axle shaft flange is bolted. The semi-floating axle setup is commonly used on half-ton and lighter 4×4 trucks in the ...

3. 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]

4. Kingpin (automotive part) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(automotive_part)

   The kingpins were now fixed to the axle ends and the hub carriers pivoted upon them. Most commonly the centre of the kingpin was fixed in the axle and the hub carrier was forked to fit over this, but some vehicles, including the Ford Model T illustrated, used a forked axle and a kingpin fixed into a single piece carrier.

5. Wheel stud - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_stud

   With lug bolts, on the other hand, the whole hub usually has to be replaced in case of stripped threads in the hub. One motivation for using lug bolts instead of wheel studs and nuts the number of parts that needs to be attached to the wheel hub. Wheel studs and lug nuts consist of two parts, while the lug bolt is a single part. This leads to ...

6. Locking hubs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_hubs

   The hub, along with the wheel, is designed to engage (lock) onto the axle, to be powered by the drivetrain in four-wheel drive; or the hub can disengage (unlock) from the axle when four-wheel drive is not needed, thus allowing the front wheels to rotate freely within the hub.

7. Axle track - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle_track

   In automobiles (and other wheeled vehicles which have two wheels on an axle), the axle track is the distance between the hub flanges on an axle. [1] Wheel track, track width or simply track refers to the distance between the centerline of two wheels on the same axle. In the case of an axle with dual wheels, the centerline of the dual wheel ...
