• maintaining the correct position of the wheel relative to the body,
• stable mounting of the hub and bearing,
• transferring vertical and lateral loads while driving,
• cooperation with control arms, shock absorbers, and tie rods.

Thanks to the factory design, correct wheel geometry is maintained, which translates into predictable handling, even tire wear, and proper operation of the braking system.
