1. An active wheel carrier system comprising:
a constant velocity (CV) joint;
a wheel hub coupled to the CV joint and including a set of hub bearings;
a hub carrier inner race coupled to the set of bearings;
a hub carrier outer race;
multiple roller elements interposed between the hub carrier inner race and the hub carrier outer race;
a control swivel coupled to the hub carrier inner race;
a camber-angle drive configured to independently rotate the hub carrier inner race about a first axis; and
a toe-angle drive configured to independently rotate the hub carrier inner race about a second axis that is distinct from the first axis.
