I can tell you how many times I've heard anyone in a french bike shop say
"corps de cassette": never. For that matter "moyeu a cassette" falls in the
same category. As you mentioned it can be ambiguous but just "le moyeu"
will get the job done provided it's clear you're talking about the part for
the rear wheel.
