MAIN FUNCTIONS OF A WHEEL HUB
A wheel hub is an essential component that connects the vehicle’s wheel to the axle and allows it to rotate smoothly.
Its main functions are:
1. Supports and holds the wheel in position.
2. Allows smooth wheel rotation through its bearing.
3. Connects the wheel to the vehicle’s axle.
4. Supports proper wheel alignment and stability.
5. Provides mounting points for the brake disc and wheel.
WHY MUST IT BE REPLACED?
• Worn or damaged wheel bearings.
1 Excessive noise while driving.
2 Wheel vibration or looseness.
3 Damaged or broken hub assembly.
4 ABS sensor or magnetic encoder failure (where integrated).
In summary: The wheel hub supports the wheel, ensures smooth rotation and contributes to vehicle stability and safe driving.
