Is It Harmful to Park a Car in a Puddle?
1 Answers
Parking a car in a puddle can significantly impact the wheel hubs and brake components. Below are the relevant details: 1. Impact on Wheel Hubs and Brake Components: Both wheel hubs and brake components are made of metal. Immersing them in water can lead to oxidation reactions, resulting in rust formation on the wheel hubs and brake parts. This can affect the car's braking performance, causing steering wheel vibrations and unusual noises during braking. For minor rust on wheel hubs and brake components, using fine sandpaper to remove the rust is sufficient for normal use. However, if the corrosion is severe, replacement is the only option. 2. Impact on Tires: Short-term immersion in water does not affect the tires. Tires are made of rubber, which is insoluble in water. Additionally, tires undergo vulcanization treatment, giving them high resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and other properties.
