What Should You Do When Your Wheel Center Cap is Lost or Damaged?
As an important accessory of the car rim, the hubcap's design affects the aesthetics of the car to a great extent. I believe many friends may also encounter a situation where the hub cap is lost or damaged. Without the hub cap, the hole in the center of the wheel not only makes the wheel unsightly, and lowers the grade of the entire car, but also affects the wheel rim's service life.
First, you need to understand what the center hubcap does and why it falls off.
The Role of the Wheel Center Cap
The most important function of the hub cap is to protect the inner structure of the hub, which can effectively prevent cement from contacting it and maintain the integrity of the rim from damage. The hub cap is the place where the axle is installed in the center of the wheel. It is very easy to get stains in this position. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it may be corroded and deformed, which will not only increase the cost but also cause safety hazards in serious cases. It is still necessary to install the hub cap.
So Why Do Hubcaps Fall Off?
Generally, there are two situations:
1. After the wheel hub is subjected to a strong collision, the hole in the center of the wheel will not fit the hub cap. At this time, it is best to repair the rim.
2. Another situation is that the hub cap falls off automatically. Because the brake will generate a lot of heat when braking, the center cover of the hub is stuck on the steel ring, and it will expand with heat and contract with cold after long-term use, resulting in the loosening of the clip. It is also possible that the buckle is broken or in the wrong position. Maintenance method: When the temperature of the wheel hub is high, it should be allowed to cool naturally before cleaning, and it must not be washed with cold water immediately.
What Should Be Done?
The best solution is to replace the missing hubcap.
1. Check the type of the original hub cap, 1. Snap-on type 2. Screw-in type 3. Straight-through type 4. Bolt-on. There's also the part number, which is a better way to find aftermarket hubcaps that fit better with these numbers and letters.
2. Measure the size of the original hub cap, about the measurement method, Here are detailed examples of different types of hub cap measurement methods.
3. Search for the relevant hub cap information you need on our website www.rhinotuning.com.
