A luggage article (100) may include a plurality of walls (102,104,106,108,110,112) together defining an outer structure (105) of the luggage article (100), a wheel bracket (134) attached to and extending from one of the walls (102,104,106,108,110,112), and a wheel (132,232,332) attached to the wheel bracket. The wheel bracket may comprise first and second elongate arms (150,152,250,252,350,352) extending along a common side of the wheel. The first and second arms may be vertically-spaced apart from one another over at least a portion of the length of the first and second arms. The configuration of the wheel bracket may result in higher shock absorption and reduced wheel noise comparative to conventional wheel brackets, and offer an improvement and alternative to conventional luggage wheel brackets.
