Wheel hubs need repair when they are dented or impacted. Repair considerations: Wheel hub repair should be done at a professional shop. Before repair, discuss with the staff whether the repair is possible and what level of restoration can be achieved. It is best to have a quality guarantee for the gloss, brightness, and hardness of the wheel hub after repair. Different paint repair processes vary, and the painting time is approximately 3 hours per wheel. After painting, it takes about a week for the paint to fully dry. Only aluminum alloy wheel hubs can have their shape restored. A professional dust-free workshop is required to prevent dust from adhering to the wheel hub. Advanced repair equipment is necessary to ensure the restored brightness, gloss, hardness, etc. Wheel hub paint materials: They are mainly divided into five types: painted wheel hubs, brushed wheel hubs, polished wheel hubs, chrome-plated wheel hubs, and imitation chrome-plated wheel hubs. Due to the variety, the difficulty and time required for repair may vary slightly.

I think wheel rim damage is quite common to repair. One time my rim hit a big pothole on the highway and got deformed, making the whole car shake when driving and causing unstable tire pressure - that's when I had to get it fixed. Generally, when rims have cracks or bends, they must be repaired, otherwise it's too risky for high-speed driving. Also, if you frequently hit curbs or rough roads, rims can easily get dented or deeply scratched, which not only looks bad but may also affect wheel balance, causing steering wheel vibration. Some old rims suffer from surface oxidation and corrosion, especially aluminum alloy rims in northern areas where salt is used for snow removal - they're prone to rusting. Repairing them at this stage can extend their lifespan. I recommend checking your rims every six months for abnormal wear to prevent small issues from becoming big problems. Overall, safety comes first - don't wait until something serious happens before getting repairs.

How Many Types of Guideway Oil Are There?

The viscosity of guideway oil is primarily selected based on the load conditions. Generally, heavier loads require higher viscosity, while lighter loads require lower viscosity. Here are the specific details: 1. Types of guideway oil: There are 4 types of guideway oil, namely 32, 46, 68, 100, and 220. 2. Main functions: The viscosity of guideway oil is chosen according to sliding speed and average pressure. The viscosity of guideway oil is equivalent to the two types of guideway oils L-G68 and L-G150 (equivalent to the old grades 40 and 90) and the two guideway-hydraulic oils L-HG32 and L-HC68 (equivalent to the old grades 20 and 40) recommended in the international standard GB7632: Selection of Lubricants for Machine Tools. 3. Application scope: It can be used to lubricate screws, linear guideways, spindle boxes, translation screws, cylindrical and conical gears, and light-load worm gear transmission devices.

What Causes the Noise from the Door Stopper?

The hinge axis of the car door and the rotation axis of the stopper are severely misaligned. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Causes of noise from the door stopper: The function of the door opening limiter (Doorcheck) is to restrict the degree to which the door can open. It limits the maximum opening of the door, preventing it from opening too wide, and keeps the door open when needed, such as when the car is parked on a slope or in moderate wind, so the door does not close automatically. Common door opening limiters are separate strap-type limiters, while some limiters are integrated with the door hinge, typically providing limiting functions when the door is fully or partially open. 2. Precautions: Ensure that the friction surface of the limiter is lubricated. The misalignment issue between the door hinge axis and the stopper rotation axis can also be resolved through adjustment, but this requires higher technical skills and is often solved based on experience. Therefore, it is best to ensure this during the design and manufacturing process, and positioning aids should be used during installation.

What is the diameter of an 18-inch tire in centimeters?

The exact measurement depends on the tire's height, as the overall diameter is a combination of factors. The effective outer diameter of an 18-inch tire is: 18*2.54=45.72CM. For example, if the tire is 225/40R18, its estimated outer diameter would be: 18*2.54+22.5*0.4*2=63.72cm, with the actual diameter typically falling between 60cm and 65cm. Advantages of 18-inch wheels: 1. Significant improvement in handling: Larger wheels have a greater contact area than original wheels, increasing friction and enhancing handling performance, second only to upgrading the suspension, providing better stability at high speeds. 2. Enhanced safety: In the event of a tire blowout, the diameter reduction of larger wheels is smaller than that of original wheels, making it easier to correct direction and significantly improving safety. 3. Visual impact: The visual appeal of larger wheels is undoubtedly remarkable.

What is the Difference Between 18-inch and 20-inch Wheels?

For the same material and vehicle model, the main differences between 20-inch and 18-inch wheels lie in their size, cost and price, comfort level, fuel consumption, and safety stability. Below is a detailed explanation: Size Difference: The size of a wheel refers to the diameter of its outermost rim. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters, so an 18-inch wheel measures 45.72 centimeters, while a 20-inch wheel measures 50.8 centimeters—a difference of 5 centimeters. For smaller wheels, this difference may not have a significant impact, but for larger wheels, the effect is more noticeable. Cost and Price: Automotive wheels are produced in various ways, but most vehicles use 18-inch or smaller wheels. Due to higher production volumes, the cost per wheel is naturally lower. In contrast, 20-inch wheels are produced in smaller quantities, resulting in higher costs and prices. Comfort Difference: Larger wheels have thinner sidewalls and a larger contact surface with the road. As a result, they transmit more of the road's actual conditions to the vehicle body, leading to reduced comfort. In comparison, 18-inch wheels have a higher tire aspect ratio, providing better comfort. Fuel Consumption Difference: Larger wheels also lead to higher fuel consumption. This is because larger wheels require wider tires with thinner sidewalls, increasing the contact area with the road and, consequently, friction. As a result, fuel consumption rises. Safety and Stability Difference: Larger wheels do have advantages. They enhance the car's appearance, making it more eye-catching. Additionally, larger wheels mean a lower aspect ratio, improving driving safety and stability. In simpler terms, vehicles with larger wheels perform better in special conditions, such as turning, tire blowouts, or driving on slippery roads. Modifying wheels to an excessively large size can negatively impact vehicle handling, as well as reduce practicality, durability, and comfort. It may also lead to increased noise, bumpiness, slower acceleration, higher fuel consumption, and less durable tires prone to bulging. Whether a car needs high-end large wheels depends entirely on personal needs. While large wheels have advantages, they also come with significant drawbacks—bigger isn't always better. When modifying vehicle components, owners are advised not to alter the wheels without authorization, as this can affect the vehicle's annual inspection. Key factors affecting vehicle annual inspection include: Modifications to the vehicle's shape and overall dimensions, such as length, width, height, spoilers, or wheels. Use of non-compliant license plates, such as plates with peeling paint or defects, or detachable license plates. Use of non-compliant lighting. Unauthorized painting or altering of the vehicle's original color. Unauthorized changes to the vehicle's emblem.

What does it mean when the car jerks forward?

This situation is caused by a malfunction in the car engine's fuel system. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Solution: If the car's engine fuel system is faulty, it is necessary to promptly visit the car's 4S shop or a repair shop to inspect and repair the fuel system, which can resolve the issue of the car jerking forward when accelerating. 2. Precautions: The importance of engine oil cannot be overstated—it provides sufficient lubrication, reduces resonance, and enhances the smooth operation of the engine. If the engine oil is insufficient for a long time, minor issues may include insufficient power and increased fuel consumption; severe cases may involve piston knocking against the valves, causing mechanical damage to related components. Additionally, a faulty fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter can also lead to a decrease in engine power.

How to deal with the car stop warning?

Car stop warning can be handled by: pulling over safely, contacting a 4S shop or professional auto repair shop, using professional computer diagnostic equipment to check the fault codes stored in the vehicle's computer, identifying the displayed code, and then repairing the vehicle accordingly. The stop warning light is connected to the engine oil pressure, low brake fluid level, coolant temperature gauge, and electronic brake force distribution system fault warning lights. When any of these components has an issue, the stop light will illuminate. For example, if the engine coolant temperature is too high while driving, the coolant temperature warning light will come on, and the stop light will also illuminate to alert the driver of an engine fault.
