At what level of wheel rim damage should it not be used?
1 Answers
Assess the degree of deformation and fracture of the wheel rim. If the wheel rim is deformed or fractured due to impact, place the tire on a balancing machine for testing. If the tire exhibits bouncing, it should no longer be used. Below are relevant details: 1. If the wheel rim has only suffered minor impact with no significant effect on the suspension, it may still be usable. For more severe impacts, take the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection, including a four-wheel alignment check. 2. Hitting a curb can affect the tire, wheel rim, suspension, and shock absorbers. Severe impacts may damage the tire, causing sidewall bulges, blowouts, or wheel rim deformation, and could even harm the suspension, leading to body deformation and unusual noises while driving.
