Why is the front of the car extremely hot?
1 Answers
The reasons for the front of the car being extremely hot are as follows: 1. Wheel hub (axle head) overheating: Wheel hub (axle head) overheating is usually caused by bearings being too tightly assembled or poor lubrication. Excessive temperature can cause the grease inside to melt and flow out, affecting braking performance. In severe cases, it may burn out the bearings. If the wheel hub bearings fail, it may cause noise, bearing overheating, and other phenomena, especially more noticeable in the front wheels, which can easily lead to dangerous situations such as loss of steering control. 2. Brake drum overheating: The temperature of the brake drum is related to ambient temperature, driving speed, frequency of braking, vehicle weight, and road conditions. Brake drum overheating may be caused by brakes not releasing or rubbing against the drum.
