Is It Normal for Wheel Hubs to Rust?

[LeDerek]

It is normal for wheel hubs to rust. Wheel hubs should not be replaced casually. Although the structure of tires is simple, when the tire size changes, many parameters of the vehicle will be affected, as the entire vehicle relies on the wheel hubs to make contact with the road surface. Methods for maintaining wheel hubs include: 1. When the vehicle is in a humid area, the wheel hubs should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, after cleaning thoroughly, wax can be applied to the wheel hubs for maintenance to keep them shiny. Methods for repairing wheel hubs: 1. Inspect the damage. If the damage does not reach the inner side of the wheel hub, use paint thinner to wipe around the damaged area to remove dirt; 2. The scratched part can be thoroughly cleaned with a toothpick; 3. To prevent accidentally painting unrelated areas, apply adhesive tape around the damaged area; 4. Trim the brush tip, apply touch-up paint, and after the paint dries and contracts, apply a slightly thicker layer; 5. After painting, wait for it to dry completely to complete the repair.
