What to Do If the All-Wheel Drive Vehicle's Wheel Hub Cracks?
1 Answers
All-wheel drive vehicle wheel hub cracks must be replaced. Currently, passenger car tires are all tubeless tires, where the tire and wheel hub closely contact to form a sealed air chamber that holds air to generate wheel support force. Cracks in the wheel hub will inevitably lead to the loss of high-pressure air inside the tire cavity, affecting driving safety. Reasons for wheel hub cracking: While the vehicle is moving forward, it runs over a hard and sharp object whose height is greater than the distance from the outer edge of the wheel hub to the ground and is located at the outer edge of the tire. When the tire runs over this object, the sharp corner of the object precisely hits the outer edge of the tire, puncturing the vulnerable outer edge of the tire. Once the tire leaks air, it instantly loses its cushioning ability, and the hard object directly impacts the wheel hub, causing it to crack. Methods to avoid wheel hub breakage: Choose smooth roads to drive on. On uneven roads, the speed must not be too fast; drive slowly. When encountering road obstacles, also drive slowly over them.
