Can Front and Rear Wheel Hubs Be Interchanged?

[DiCorey]

Front and rear wheel hubs can be interchanged. Generally, during maintenance every 5,000 km at mid-to-high-end car 4S shops, the front and rear tires are automatically cross-rotated. This is because the front tires usually wear out more easily than the rear tires, and rotating them every 5,000 km helps ensure even wear across all four tires. A rotation interval of around 5,000 km has minimal impact on the vehicle's steering and chassis systems. The wheel hub, also known as the rim, wheel, or wheel disc, is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire in a cylindrical shape. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment processes for wheel hubs also vary, mainly divided into painting and electroplating.
