wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel, and flywheel.
Common examples can be found in transport applications. A wheel reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a device that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    Hi all! Re: 2022 ZS EV Does anyone know the number of pulses per wheel revolution for the rear wheel speed sensor tone ring? I heard it might be 48 but that's referring to a different year vehicle. Thanks for your input! Brian.

    Check your wheel arches

Just given them a good blast with the hosepipe and it has all come out. This will be a regular part of my car washing...
