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.

    MG Jack & jacking point

    I bought an MG space saver wheel with jack from MG but I cannot see where the jack fits. The manual on page 232 says "Note that the domed head of the jack must fit into the corresponding recess in the sill plate (There is a triangle indicator ...)". The jack has no doomed head and I cannot see...

    Wheel trim theft?

    One of my MG4 wheel trims 'disappeared' in a garden centre car park whilst we were inside, I had not kerbed my car or collided with anything. I looked to ebay for a new one but those there were all used. Are some people pinching wheel trims only to sell them back on ebay and get a 'good ebayer'...

    LED display on steering column

    I've noticed on some videos and photos some MG4s have a little LED display above the steering wheel in front of the digital display. I don't have one in my MG Xpower and the manual doesn't mention it, though it is included in the the manual's drawing of the dashboard. (shown here with the two...

    Issue with Steering Wheel Button Programming on MG4 Trophy EV After R46 Update - Anyone Else?

    I now want my LH steering wheel button for the 360 degree camera but when I try it reverts to energy recovery. What am I doing wrong? Excuse the shaky video. The RH button is not a problem it accepts any change.

    Concerning creaking from the rear left

    I'm booked this Thursday at the local Salisbury dealer to investigate it however I'd appreciate any hints on what could cause this (I suspect some suspension bits). The picture below shows my test set up - I roll out of the driveway and then I drive with the left wheel on the kerb. I've removed...

    Spare wheel acquired

    Being a good Yorkshireman I had no intention of paying MG prices for a spare wheel. Managed to pick up a Mercedes space saver spare same size and bolt pattern for £40. The centre hole is bigger so I will turn a suitable spacer. An old jack and wheelbrace and job sorted.

    Wheel size mg4

    Do you think the wheels from a mg5 will fit a mg4? Spec of the mg5 wheel is 17x7,5 et 45 (215/50r17) and the mg4 is 17x7 et51 I think?

    Hub cap removal ?

    Do you just pull the wheel covers til they pop off ? May be trying to remove them to check if they cause the minor vibration I posted about earlier but don't want to damage them in doing so ( don't know my own strength) .... and if that's all that's required, what's to stop little scrotes...

    Sound insulation on wheel arch cover to reduce tyre noise

    Saw this on AliExpress, anyone tried it, or have any thoughts? No reviews on that product for the MG4, but it appears to be the same product as this which has lots of positive comments (also cheaper). My only reservation would be installing it on the exterior.

    We’ve had some attempted and successful vehicle thefts recently and I’ve bought Disklok wheel lock. However, upon installation I now realise it is meant to be used in conjunction with the built in wheel column lock. Every car I have used has had one, but I can’t seem to figure out how to use...
