What are the effects of slight wheel hub deformation on a car?
1 Answers
The effects of slight wheel hub deformation on a car are as follows: 1. Surface damage: Mainly manifested as wear and scratches on the wheel hub surface. Repairs only address the surface and generally do not affect the main load-bearing structure of the wheel hub, having minimal impact on its reliability and safety. 2. Wheel hub deformation: This refers to the wheel hub becoming deformed, twisted, or out-of-round under external force. When a car wheel hub is subjected to collision or impact, it can easily cause bending or deformation of the wheel hub rim, which constitutes serious damage. The material of the wheel hub is aluminum alloy, which inherently has relatively poor resistance to metal fatigue. After being deformed by external force and then forcibly restored to its original shape, even if no fine cracks are visible to the naked eye, scientifically speaking, the metal structure in this area is completely different from that of a normal wheel hub.
