Simple Experiment Shows the Importance of Hub Lubrication

Gomel, Belarus – A local car mechanic, gogiservice, recently conducted an experiment to determine the necessity of lubricating wheel hubs before installing new brake discs. The experiment involved cleaning two hubs, applying an aluminum-based lubricant to one, and submerging both in water for a week. Gogiservice noted, "Many believe hubs shouldn't be lubricated, but my experience with aluminum lubricant has been very positive." The results showed significantly less rust on the lubricated hub, highlighting the preventative benefits of the lubricant. This simple experiment offers valuable insights into car maintenance, promoting safer and more efficient practices.
