How deep does a wheel hub scratch need to be before replacement is required?
1 Answers
If the wheel hub has been scratched, it does not need to be replaced; replacement is only necessary if the wheel hub has become deformed or cracked. The wheel hub is the central part of the wheel, mounted on the axle to support the tire. It is cylindrical in shape and typically fitted with bearings to reduce friction. Common types of wheel hubs include steel rims and aluminum alloy rims. Methods for repairing wheel hub scratches include: 1. Carefully inspect whether the scratch extends to the inner side of the wheel hub. If not, simply use paint thinner to gently wipe around the scratch; 2. Before repairing the scratch, cover the undamaged areas with tape to avoid accidentally applying paint to unaffected parts; 3. After trimming the brush tip, apply touch-up paint and allow it to dry, during which it will slightly shrink.
