Why is the wheel hub hot to the touch?
1 Answers
The wheel hub becomes hot due to friction between the brake disc and brake pads, which is a normal phenomenon. The maintenance methods for wheel hubs are: 1. Clean the wheel hub frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. When the wheel hub temperature is high, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water for cleaning as it may damage the aluminum wheel hub, cause deformation of the brake disc affecting braking performance. Using detergent to clean the wheel hub may cause chemical reactions on the surface, resulting in loss of luster. The wheel hub is the rotating part where the tire's inner contour steel connects to the wheel core via pillars, serving as the metal component that supports the tire's center mounted on the axle.
