How wheels are connected to the vehicle

There are many ways wheels are connected to cars or vehicles. One of the ways wheels are connected to vehicles is by an axle. An axle is usably a long stick that wheels are attached to. To attach the wheels, a hole is put in the wheel [usually a bit bigger than the axle], then the axle is slid through the wheel hole. To keep the wheel from falling of the vehicle two place holders [either side of the wheel] hold the wheel in place.

Another way is the wheels are connected to the axle and dont spin. With this only the axle spins, this can be achieved by the hole, in which the axle goes into, being bigger than the axle.
