Answer 1

Other than all wheel/four wheel drive cars, one set of axles doesn’t turn at all. Yet the axles that don’t turn, like the hubs on those axles, go exactly as far as the rest of the car. You do not rotate at 300 RPM when you’re sitting in the driver’s seat, you need to get past your obsession that wheel parts are different than body parts and passengers.
