Can a deformed aluminum wheel hub be hammered back?
1 Answers
Aluminum wheel hubs cannot be hammered back into shape. Here is some relevant additional information: 1. Wheel hub deformation: Slight deformation of the wheel hub affects the vehicle's safety performance. During high-speed driving, the steering wheel may shake. It cannot be hammered back and requires timely inspection and repair at an automotive repair shop. Carefully check if the scratches extend to the inner side of the wheel hub. If not, the scratches are not severe, and simple repairs can be done by using paint thinner to slowly wipe around the scratches to remove dirt. If the scratches on the wheel hub are deep, the situation is more serious, and it will be difficult to clean the dirt around the scratches. 2. Wheel hub usage: If the wheel hub only has slight deformation, the vehicle needs a dynamic balance check, and lead weights should be added according to the degree of deformation to ensure smooth tire rotation. However, if the vehicle is often driven on rough roads, it is best to directly replace the wheel hub with a new one.
