A car wheel is attached to an axle. If the car is RWD, the rear wheel axle will be connected to the engine and the front wheels not be. In a 4WD or FWD car the front axle, with a ball joint to allow steering, will also be connected to the engine via a torque tube and a geared differential.

Can a car drive on two wheels?
A four wheel car can drive on two wheels. There are 1/4 mile drag cars that can do the 1/4 mile on just the two rear wheels. There are stunt car drivers that can drive a car on just the drivers side or passenger side wheels.
What is the difference between a split axle and straight axle in a car?
Most modern passenger cars have split axles--which means that the wheels on each side are attached to separate shafts. This allows the left and right wheels to rotate at different speeds as the car turns, improving traction and tire life. A straight axle is just a straight bar, like the ones you'd find on a little red wagon...
What color were the wheels on a 1966 dodge dart?
the wheels were painted the same color as the car.
Is a car suspension spring compressed when the car is parked if so is it the actuall weight of the car compressing it and is the weight of the car shared by four wheels?

3 reasons why car wheels are made from aluminum?

Do the wheels of a car rotate backwards?
Unless a brake is engaged, the wheels on a car in neutral can rotate backwards. If the car is in gear, wheels attached to the power train probably will only rotate backwards if the car is in reverse gear. If it is in forward gear or "park" they should not rotate backwards. Wheels not connected to the power train should be able to rotate either direction.
While taking turn in car one wheel rotate more and other rotate less what is the reason?
While turning, the inside wheels take a shorter path than the outer wheels so they must rotate at different speeds.
When the steering wheel of a car can rotate 360 degree why can't the wheels?
The axle prevents them doing so.
Name 7 different things that turn or rotate?

When does fricdtion occur in a car that runs on propeller?
If you mean like an airplane without wings, there's air resistance, friction between the wheels and the ground, and the axle on which the wheels rotate.
What causes the wheels of a car to rotate in opposite directions when the wheels are off the ground?
The wheels of a vehicle may rotate in different directions if they have a system that is called "spur-gear differential." Pinion pairs are displaced axially, and mesh part of the length between two spur gears, results in rotation in opposite directions.
How do airplane wheels work?
They rotate and can be braked, just like auto wheels. Nose wheels can be steered.
What is the function of an axle in a car?
An axle in a car serves as a central shaft that connects the wheels, allowing them to rotate and transmit power from the engine to the wheels. It supports the weight of the vehicle and enables smooth movement by facilitating the rotation of the wheels. Additionally, axles help maintain the alignment and stability of the vehicle during operation.
What connects wheels on a car?
The wheels on a car are connected through the axle, which is a central shaft that allows them to rotate together. The axle is linked to the vehicle's drivetrain, enabling power from the engine to be transmitted to the wheels. Additionally, components like wheel bearings and suspension systems facilitate smooth movement and stability while driving.
Why do cars have circle wheels?
Cars have circular wheels to move the easiest. Because of the circle's shape, the wheels can rotate easily. If they were not circles, it would take a great amount of work and energy to get the wheel to rotate.
What is the name of tank wheels?
Usually the back wheels are the ones connected to the engine, providing the power to rotate the tracks, and these are the drive wheels. The rest are bogey wheels.
What are two rigidly attached wheels that rotate together?
