Wheel hubs are central components of a vehicle’s wheel assembly, connecting the wheels to the vehicle’s suspension system. They house the wheel bearings and allow the wheel to rotate freely while supporting the vehicle’s weight. The hub also includes mounting points for the wheel itself, where the lug nuts secure the wheel to the vehicle. Wheel hubs are designed to endure high pressure and harsh driving conditions, but over time, they can wear out due to factors like excessive heat, moisture or road debris. Signs of a faulty wheel hub include vibrations, grinding noises or uneven tire wear. Replacing a worn or damaged hub ensures proper wheel alignment, smooth wheel rotation and safe driving.
