How to Determine if a Wheel Hub is Out of Round?

[AndersonAnn]

Methods to determine if a wheel hub is out of round: 1. The direct impact and sensation of an out-of-round wheel hub on driving experience is that the vehicle's direction will deviate, and the body as well as the steering wheel will vibrate severely, with the vibration increasing as the speed rises; 2. An out-of-round wheel hub can also cause significant impact on the chassis suspension, and in severe cases, it may lead to deformation or even fracture of the suspension control arms. Currently, most car wheel hubs are made of aluminum alloy, making it extremely difficult to repair once they become out of round. Even after repair, the wheel hub cannot return to its original factory condition. Therefore, it is recommended to seek specialized wheel hub repair. However, from a safety perspective, it is generally advised to replace the wheel hub directly if it becomes out of round.
