The wheel hub assembly on your vehicle is responsible for keeping your wheel attached to your vehicle and allowing the wheel to turn smoothly and freely. The wheel hub is mounted between the drive axle and brake drums/disks. It contains metal bearings for smoother rotation. The studs that your brake rotors/drums and wheel attach to are located on the wheel hub which is bolted to the steering knuckle or axle. In ABS-equipped vehicles, the ABS sensor is usually located on the wheel hub.
