1 Answers
If the small metal block on the wheel hub falls off, the following steps need to be taken: 1. It needs to be reinstalled. 2. Remove the wheel. 3. Hammer in a lead block of the corresponding weight at the same position. 4. Then perform wheel dynamic balancing and reinstall it. Below are some additional details: 1. If it is not replaced after falling off, it will affect the driving comfort of the vehicle. Prolonged driving can lead to vehicle bumpiness, deviation, abnormal tire wear, and increased safety hazards. 2. The car wheel is an integrated unit composed of the tire and the wheel hub. When the car rotates at high speed, dynamic imbalance occurs, causing unstable driving and steering wheel vibration. To avoid or eliminate this phenomenon, weight is usually added to the side of the wheel to correct the balance of various parts of the wheel. 3. Generally, these metal blocks come in two forms. The first is the internal type, where the small metal block is located inside the car tire, close to the inner edge. This avoids exposure to the outside to some extent, preventing it from falling off due to scraping and maintaining aesthetics. The second is the external type, which, as the name suggests, is exposed on the outside of the wheel. The external type may affect aesthetics to some extent.
