Hub Caps for Ford Escape

Ford Escape Hub Caps

Finding Ford hubcaps is important to the overall appearance of your Ford Escape. Various caps and wheel covers are available. You will want to choose a style that works for the model of your Ford SUV.

What is the purpose of a hubcap?

Hubcaps are the small covers over the center of a wheel. It is often described as the entire wheel cover, which is the decorative disk that goes over the face of the wheel. The hubcaps are placed there to protect the wheel bolts and nuts from becoming rusted or corroded.

How are Ford Escape hubcaps installed?

Depending on the style, hubcaps will either snap directly onto the wheel or be bolted into place. This is a simple process that you can handle on your own without having to visit a mechanic or body shop. If you have a bolt-on design, you will often be able to screw them onto existing lug nuts. Otherwise, you will need to jack up the SUV and then use existing lug nuts. Simply be mindful of where the valve stem is when installing the caps.
