What Are the Hazards of Wheel Hub Spacers?
1 Answers
Wheel hub spacers do not inherently pose any hazards. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Specific situation: Wheel hub spacers secure the axle hub and wheel. If the wheel's center bore is larger than the axle diameter and no spacer is installed, the lug nuts may fasten but with inherent tolerances between bolts and nuts. This creates play between the wheel and axle, preventing complete fixation. At high speeds, this can cause wheel wobble or even detachment. 2. Function of spacers: Spacers ensure more even force distribution across the wheel, enhance driving stability, and reduce high-speed vibrations after wheel modifications.
