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.

    Steering Wheel Cover option (Aliexpress)

    Take off your MG4 wheel covers now!! All they do is damage the alloy and they look CRAP!!

    I washed my car this weekend and decided to remove the wheel covers to clean the alloys and im shocked that MG chose to fit these to the car. The wheel covers have metal clasps on them that grip on to the wheel and all they do is scratch the wheels and make them look awful. Mine have never been...

    MG4 Steering Wheel Shortcuts for HVAC and Regen?

    Yes - another MG4 review video! I found this one particularly interesting as I’ve seen criticism of the HVAC and Regen controls being buried in the infotainment menu. Here, he uses the steering wheel to manage both areas… Does anyone also do this on their car?

    Steering wheel sticking

    Just picked up my new MG 4 Se and noticed pretty quickly that the steering wheel sticks or slightly locks when I’m turning the steering wheel slightly?
