Can Wheel Hubs Be Replaced at Will?
1 Answers
Without prior approval from the traffic management authorities, vehicles with modified wheel hubs cannot pass the annual inspection normally. The following are the impacts of replacing car wheel hubs: 1. The advantage of replacing car wheel hubs is aesthetics. If wider tires are installed, the car will be more stable during driving and turning. The disadvantage is that the odometer indicator will change, and the actual speed will match the speed shown on the meter. The increased load on the steering mechanism will cause it to wear out prematurely. It increases the engine load, especially the "sluggish" feeling during startup; raises the body height, increasing the ground clearance, which can alter the original aerodynamics at high speeds, making the car feel floaty; increases the load on the braking system, causing the brake pads to require replacement earlier. 2. National regulations on car modifications: Changes to the car's brand, model, or engine type are not allowed, except for engines approved by the national automotive product authority; changes to the registered car's shape and technical data are not recommended unless otherwise stipulated by laws, regulations, and national mandatory standards. Modifying car wheel hubs is considered a car modification, and such visual changes are difficult to pass the annual inspection.
