Daily maintenance of wheel hub

As a key component connecting the tire and the body, the maintenance of the wheel hub is very important to ensure the safety and comfort of the vehicle. Here are some detailed suggestions for wheel maintenance:

Regular cleaning

1. Daily cleaning: the surface of the wheel is easy to accumulate dirt, sand and dirt, and should be cleaned regularly with neutral soapy water or special wheel cleaner. Avoid using household cleaners or strong acid and alkaline dish soap, which may cause corrosion to the surface of the wheel.

2. Thorough cleaning: When cleaning, make sure that all dirt is removed, especially outside the wheel rim and gap. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the test, avoid using a brush or wire ball with strong wool, so as not to scratch the surface of the wheel.

3. Waxing protection: After cleaning, the wheel can be waxed to maintain its luster and extend its service life. It is recommended to wax at regular intervals (such as two months).

Avoid damage

1. Prevent sunlight and chemicals: Avoid long-term exposure to sunlight in the hub to reduce UV damage to the hub surface. At the same time, be wary of oily, acidic substances and hydrocarbons and other chemicals on the wheel erosion.

2. Prevent collision of hard objects: During driving, pay attention to avoid collision between the wheel hub and hard objects on the road, so as not to cause scratches or dents. Also choose a flat road when parking to avoid tires being squeezed.

Pay attention to temperature

1. Natural cooling: under high temperature condition, the wheel should be cooled naturally first and then cleaned. Do not use cold water to flush high temperature wheels directly, so as not to cause damage to aluminum alloy wheels or brake disc deformation.

2. High temperature cleaning: When cleaning the wheel hub with detergent at high temperature, care should be taken to avoid chemical reactions between the cleaner and the surface of the wheel hub, resulting in loss of luster or other damage.

Periodic inspection

1. Check scars: Regularly check whether there are scratches, cracks or dents on the surface of the wheel hub. If scars are found, they should be repaired in time to prevent further deterioration.

2. Fastening nuts: Ensure that the nuts and bolts on the wheel hub are securely fastened to prevent the wheel from falling off or being unstable due to loosening.

Professional maintenance

1. Professional repair: If the wheel is seriously damaged or the scratch cannot be repaired by itself, it should be repaired by a professional repair shop in time. Professional repair technology can ensure that the wheel is restored to the original performance and beauty.

2. Replace the new hub: If the hub is seriously damaged or cannot be repaired, the new hub should be replaced in time. When replacing, it is necessary to select the wheel specifications and models that match the original car to ensure the safety and stability of driving.
