Is it necessary to repair minor scratches on the wheel hub?
1 Answers
When the damage to the wheel hub accumulates to a certain extent, it is essential to promptly take it to a professional repair shop for maintenance. Tire Sidewall: The tire sidewall is the weakest and thinnest part of the tire. When encountering minor bumps on the road, the sidewall deforms to absorb some of the impact. Continuing to use a tire with scratches on the sidewall poses a risk of a blowout, which is very dangerous. It is recommended to replace the tire. Repair: Some repair shops use body filler (bondo) to fill in the damaged areas, sand it down, and then repaint. However, since the wheel hub operates at high speeds and experiences significant temperature fluctuations, the body filler on the hub is prone to expansion and detachment, leading to paint damage and rendering the wheel hub repair ineffective.
