About Wheel Hub Carriers

A Vauxhall wheel hub carrier is mounted to the suspension and steering system and as its name suggests it holds or carries the hub assembly. The hub carrier is able to move up and down with the suspension, and also to move left and right allowing the front wheels to steer via movement of the steering gear.

The hub carrier is generally attached to the suspension using ball joints which allow it to move up and down freely as the car travels over the ground. The steering gear is linked to the carrier with a steering arm, also connected using ball joints to allow flexibility as the suspension moves up and down.

A Vauxhall wheel hub carrier is cast piece of solid metal so generally very strong and robust, and as it has no moving parts is generally very reliable. However, a light impact such as hitting a curb can bend or deform the carrier, causing misalignment of the wheel hub assembly.

Additionally the connecting ball joints for the suspension and steering are prone to wear and will likely need to be replaced over time.

Vauxhall trivia

• Not only did Vauxhall produce the first sports car in the world, but it was also the first company to produce a car that could go 100mph!
• Vauxhall has been manufacturing cars continuously in Britain since 1903, making it the oldest car brand to survive in the UK.
• Vauxhall's first-ever car had a whopping five-horsepower and didn't have a steering wheel! Instead, it used a tiller for guiding direction, along with two forward gears. Who even needs a reverse gear?
• A long list of celebs have been proud owners of the Vauxhall Corsa, including former Doctor Who star, Matt Smith (who sold his on eBay and gave the money to charity), Tinie Tempah, Claudia Schiffer, Sean Bean, and even Colin McRae.
• The Vauxhall Vectra was the last car they ever produced in Luton, and it went on to become one of their most poorly reviewed vehicles. Top Gear even put the '95 Vectra on their list of the worst cars of the last 20 years (Clarkson wouldn't even drive it!).
