To what extent can wheel hub damage render it unusable?
1 Answers
Generally, it mainly depends on the level of deformation and cracking of the wheel hub. If the wheel rim is deformed or cracked, the tire should be tested on a dynamic balancing machine. If the tire shows signs of shaking, then the tire cannot be used anymore. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Degree of damage: If the wheel rim is only slightly impacted, it will not cause significant harm to the suspension system. If the impact is more severe, it is necessary to go to a repair shop for inspection, including four-wheel alignment checks, etc. 2. Hazards: If the tire hits the curb, it will cause certain damage to the tire, wheel rim, suspension, and shock absorber. In severe cases, it can damage the tire, causing bulges on the tire sidewall, tire blowouts, wheel hub deformation, and may also damage the suspension system, leading to body deformation and noise during driving.
