As we all know, hub bolts are important fasteners on the car. Don’t underestimate this forged nut. Many years ago, the forged bolts and nuts required for domestic refitted cars were basically purchased from abroad, and the price was also high. Later, domestic forged bolts gradually became available. The price has dropped to a level that ordinary people can accept.
We usually can only replace the nut (must match the teeth of the fixing bolt). In some vehicles, internal threads (equivalent to the function of bolt caps) are prepared on the axle disc, and the bolts are unscrewed when the hub is removed.
This is the fastening and fixing method of forged hub bolts, which belongs to the axle disc bolt type, and the bolts are fixed on the axle disc.
When we disassemble the wheel bone, what we remove is actually the bolt cap. Therefore, if you want to upgrade to forged bolt connection, you only need to buy the corresponding nut.
First, the quality of aluminum alloy forged bolts is more than twice as light as the original bolts. The original car requires a total of 16 steel bolts. After replacing all of them with aluminum alloy forged bolts, the weight is only equivalent to the original car’s 8 steel bolts. Although the reduced mass is limited, how much can the unsprung mass be reduced?
Second, the corrosion resistance of forged bolts is better than that of steel bolts. Aluminum alloy forged bolts and nuts are combined with anodized aluminum oxidation process, which has strong corrosion resistance.
Third, the strength of forged bolts is better than that of steel bolts. But you must not buy inferior and counterfeit forged bolts and nuts. When purchasing, you must consult the seller about the specifications and brands of bolts and nuts.
Forged bolts are important fasteners on automobile wheels. The quality of the bolts will directly affect the form of the vehicle. No one wants to cause unnecessary accidents because of a bolt quality problem.
