What are the parts of a car’s wheel and axle?
I’m taking my car to the mechanic soon for an axle-related issue—I’m not super familiar with the parts they’ll be working on, but I want to know what they’ll be doing. What are the parts of a car’s wheel and axle?

A wheel is composed of approximately 6 different parts:
- Wheel bearings
- Wheel rims
- Wheel fasteners
- Tires
- Hub
- Valve system
However, it should be noted that the hub of the wheel contains the calipers, brake pads, and rotors as well—bringing the actual part count to a total of 9.
An axle is composed of roughly 12 different parts:
- Spring clip
- Inboard joint
- Two snap rings
- Roller groove
- Roller
- Spider
- Boot band B
- Boot band C
- Inboard joint boot
- Outboard joint boot
- Outboard CV joint
- Complex CV axle assembly
Hopefully, this helps you understand the procedure better!
