The feasibility of wheel hub replacement depends on the specific degree of damage and the vehicle model. Minor scratches can be repaired professionally at a cost of approximately 500 to 800 ringgit. However, if there is deformation or structural damage, replacement is mandatory. Wheel hub prices vary significantly: the unit price of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wheel hubs for standard models typically ranges from 800 to 3000 ringgit, while larger-sized or high-performance wheel hubs may exceed 5000 ringgit. Compatibility and installation labor costs should also be factored in. It is important to note that when replacing wheel hubs, selecting products certified by the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) is recommended to ensure compliance with local safety standards. Vehicle owners can consult technicians to evaluate the condition of the wheel hubs and then decide between repair or replacement based on overall cost-effectiveness.
