I know it may seem like I'm being a pedantic jackass here, but the myriad of names people use for the hub and associated parts has always been a frustration to me.

so FWIW, from the Toyota parts catalogue, MR2 bits:
The part which contains the wheel bearing and attaches to the strut, lower ball joint and steering tie rod is called a steering knuckle on the front:

And they call it a carrier sub assembly on the rear (presumably steering knuckle is inappropriate since it doesn't steer...)
http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_1989_T ... _4804.html

And here's front and rear hubs

On the back of an AE101 you have a hub (part of the hub and bearing sub assembly)
http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_1992_T ... _4102.html

And the other bits are named the same as the MR2

And the other cars I checked all used the same naming.

yeah. every time someone asks me for a part in that area i have to clarify what they want because people use some weird names for shit.
different manufacturers use different names too
