Can a deformed wheel hub be repaired?
1 Answers
Wheel hub deformation can be repaired, but it is not recommended. After repair, there may be some hidden damages inside the wheel hub that are not visible, which can pose safety hazards. It is advisable to replace it with a brand new one. Wheel hub repair is not a universal solution and cannot fix all levels of damage. Damage to wheel hubs is usually related to aluminum alloy wheel hubs, primarily caused by external forces. The main reasons can be categorized as follows: 1. Surface damage: Mainly includes wear and scratches on the wheel hub surface; 2. Deformation damage: The wheel hub becomes deformed or twisted under external forces; 3. Fracture damage: The wheel hub experiences varying degrees of fractures after severe impacts.
