What is wheel straightening, and when might it be necessary for vehicle maintenance?
Wheel straightening is a process used to repair bends or deformations in vehicle wheels, commonly referred to as rims. This procedure becomes necessary when rims sustain damage from impacts with potholes, curbs, or other road hazards, which can cause bending or misalignment. The damaged wheel is mounted onto a machine that carefully manipulates the metal, gradually reshaping it to eliminate bends or warping while preserving the structural integrity of the wheel.
