Can a Damaged Wheel Hub Be Repaired?

[KyleFitz]

Wheel hubs can be repaired. Below is relevant information about automotive wheel hub repairs: 1. Surface Damage: Primarily involving wear and scratches on the hub surface. Repairs only address the surface and generally do not affect the main load-bearing structure of the original hub, having minimal impact on the hub's reliability and safety. 2. Hub Deformation: This refers to the hub becoming deformed, twisted, or out-of-round due to external forces, which can be forcibly corrected. However, even if no fine cracks are visible to the naked eye, from a scientific perspective, the metal structure in this area is entirely different from that of a normal hub. 3. Fracture Damage: When a hub suffers a severe impact, it may experience varying degrees of fractures or chips. Although fractured hubs can be repaired through welding, their safety performance significantly decreases.
