Straightening Wheels, Rims or Components
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mercury Sable and 2003 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Do not weld the wheels for any reason.
NOTE:
Do not heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening to repair damage from striking curbs. The special alloy used in these wheels is heat-treated and uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material.
