Center Caps

What is a Center Cap?

A center cap or centercap is a decorative disk that covers a central portion of the surface on an automobile axle. The early center caps for automobiles were small and worked primarily to keep dirt away from vehicle spindle nut and wheel bearings. Center caps are also used to conceal the lug nuts and/or the bearings on new vehicles. Center caps are a kind of hubcap, while the other primary kind is wheel cover. Some modern center caps are kept on the wheel by means of spring clips while others are maintained by the wheel lugs or other threaded fasteners.

If you're an automobile owner and have a center cap, it's important to learn how to repair one without a car owner or mechanic assisting. It is comparatively easy to install a center cap on a drum. This is because, with so little effort, it falls into place. Removing the caps in the middle can be a little more difficult. This method takes a few moments and can be very simple or it can involve removal of the wheel.
