<p>A hub assembly for a drivable wheel of a motor vehicle, with a hub member (10), a bearing assembly with an outer race (20) and an inner race (21), and a constant velocity universal joint with an outer member (16) and inner member (17), wherein torque is transmitted between the hub member and joint outer member through the intermediary of an element (23) of thermally insulating material. The arrangement is such that the thermally insulating element is loaded substantially only in compression, enabling the use of efficient thermal insulators.</p> |
