Does Wheel Hub Modification Affect Vehicle Inspection?
2 Answers
Wheel hub modification affects vehicle inspection. More detailed information is as follows: 1. Precautions for wheel hub installation include: 1. Regularly check the wheel hub and pay attention to early warning signs of wear; 2. The wheel hub is relatively sensitive and requires the correct method and appropriate tools; 3. Do not disassemble the wheel hub or adjust the sealing ring of the wheel hub unit. 2. Maintenance methods for the wheel hub include: 1. When the vehicle is in a humid area, the wheel hub should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt corrosion on the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, after cleaning, the wheel hub can be waxed to maintain its luster; 3. When the wheel hub temperature is high, it should be allowed to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water to clean it, as this may damage the aluminum wheel hub, deform the brake disc, and affect braking performance. Using detergent to clean the wheel hub may cause chemical reactions on the surface, resulting in loss of luster.
Yes, wheel modification can affect the vehicle inspection results. Based on my years of driving experience, this mainly depends on the compliance of the modification: if you change the wheel size, PCD parameters, or ET value, it will alter the vehicle's overall structure and affect the suspension and braking systems. During the inspection, staff will strictly check whether these parameters meet national standards; if they exceed the limits, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified, and you'll have to spend money to restore it to the factory condition to pass. I recommend checking the regulations clearly before modifying and choosing certified accessories—don't take risks just for looks, or you'll end up wasting time and effort on last-minute fixes. After changing the wheels, it's best to test-drive the car yourself to check for handling stability, to avoid escalating safety hazards that could affect daily driving safety.
