Does Side Impact Affect the Wheel Hub?
1 Answers
If the wheel hub is not deformed or broken after a side impact, there is no effect. Below are specific details about wheel hubs: 1. Scratches on the wheel hub surface: Scratches on the wheel hub surface are probably the most common damage. If the scratches are not severe, they can be ignored, but if the scratches are deep, it is recommended to repair them promptly. 2. Scratches or chips on the wheel hub edge: The causes of scratches or chips on the wheel hub edge are similar to those of surface scratches. If the edge scratches are severe and there is no clear coat protection, it can lead to corrosion of the wheel hub edge, resulting in poor sealing between the wheel hub and tire, which may cause slow air leakage. 3. Corrosion on the wheel hub surface: Corrosion on the wheel hub surface is also related to the surface treatment process. Generally, water-electroplated wheel hubs are most prone to corrosion, and the corrosion often starts from the inside.
