The symptoms of a warped wheel hub are as follows: 1. The vehicle pulls to one side while driving. 2. Severe shaking of the body and steering wheel, with the intensity increasing as the speed rises. 3. A warped wheel hub can also cause significant impact on the chassis suspension, and in severe cases, it can lead to deformation or even breakage of the suspension control arms. The solutions for a warped wheel hub are as follows: Since most car wheel hubs today are made of aluminum alloy, once the wheel hub is warped, it is extremely difficult to repair. Even if repaired, the wheel hub cannot return to its optimal factory condition. Therefore, it is generally recommended to replace the wheel hub directly if it becomes warped.

I've been driving for over a decade and have experienced wheel rim deformation. The most obvious symptom is that once the speed exceeds 70 km/h, the steering wheel shakes like a vibrating phone, making your palms numb if held for too long. The car body also constantly vibrates as if equipped with a massage seat, with rear passengers often complaining of dizziness. Once on the highway, I noticed severe wear on the inner side of the tire, and upon inspection, it turned out to be caused by uneven force distribution due to the wheel rim being out of round. Delaying repairs for such issues is most damaging to the suspension system, and you'll hear clunking noises when going over speed bumps. It's advisable to address it early; replacing a new wheel rim plus labor costs only a few hundred bucks.

What Does It Mean When the Exclamation Mark Yellow Light Comes On in the Car?

The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator light, lighting fault indicator light, steering system fault indicator light, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator light, and wiper fault indicator light. Below is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Main issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. Solution: It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection, where professionals can identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. Solution: The transmission oil needs to be replaced promptly. Although it can be replaced independently, it is not recommended. It is still necessary for professionals to replace the transmission oil according to different car models. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a fault in the brake system or low brake fluid level. Solution: First, check if the handbrake is released. If the fault light still appears after releasing it, drive slowly to a repair shop for professional inspection. Tire Pressure Abnormality: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses. This is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Solution: If you have a tire pressure gauge, you can check it yourself. If not, go to a 4S shop for inspection and restore the tire pressure to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating a fault in the car lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible. You can also check it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the problem. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the warning lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two different colors: yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the corresponding repair point for maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards in time. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In this case, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and call for professional help to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety. It should be noted that when the car is started, all lights will turn on for an automatic system check and will turn off after the check is completed. If a light does not turn on or remains on when the ignition is turned on, or if it lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help immediately for inspection and elimination of safety hazards.
