What is a Car Wheel Hub?
1 Answers
A car wheel hub refers to the cylindrical metal component inside the tire that supports the tire, also known as the rim or steel ring. It is a crucial part that connects the brake drum or brake disc, wheel disc, and axle, working in conjunction with the tire to support the wheel and also determining the tire's specifications. The reasons for wheel hub deformation include: 1. Continuing to drive when the tire is flat or has low pressure; 2. Collision between the tire or wheel hub and a hard object; 3. The tire cannot fully absorb the impact force, causing some force to reach the wheel hub. The maintenance methods for wheel hubs are: 1. Avoid using cold water for cleaning when the temperature is high; 2. If the vehicle is parked in a damp location for an extended period, regular cleaning is necessary to prevent salt corrosion.
