A rotatable assembly for a vehicle road wheel includes a vehicle suspension knuckle (16), a drive shaft (24), a first bearing (30) carried by the knuckle for rotatably supporting the drive shaft, a wheel hub (13) drivingly connected to the drive shaft, a brake disc support (26) rotatably carried by the first bearing and connected to the drive shaft to rotate therewith, the connection (28) between the brake disc support and the drive shaft being separated and spaced apart along the shaft from the connection (25) between the drive shaft and the wheel hub, a second bearing (32) between the wheel hub and the brake disc to support the wheel hub and to allow relative rotation between the brake disc support and the wheel hub and a torque sensor (50) between said connections to sense the torque or the change in torque being transmitted by the drive shaft (24) to the wheel.
