What to Do When the Wheel Hub is Scratched?
1 Answers
If the wheel hub is scratched and the situation is severe, it should be taken to a repair shop for restoration, which involves grinding and repainting the hub. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel core connected by columns within the tire's inner contour, supporting the metal component at the center of the tire mounted on the axle. The maintenance methods for the wheel hub are: 1. When the vehicle is in a humid area, the hub should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, after cleaning thoroughly, wax can be applied to the hub for maintenance to keep it shiny; 3. When the hub temperature is high, it should be allowed to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water to clean it, as this can damage the aluminum hub, cause the brake disc to deform, and affect braking performance. Using cleaning agents on the hub can cause chemical reactions on its surface, leading to loss of shine.
