Repairing Wheels: how to find out which ones are repairable?

[senior_hombre 1]

Hi,

iam trying to repair the wheels on our car (4 wheeled) but already wasted two wheels because i repaired wrong (seems like i repaired wheels which are not on the car and the other time a wheel which had no damage).

Maybe the answers on my following questions will help me repair it right:

1. on a 4 wheeled car, is it correct that just the front/back - right/left wheels are repairable? Or does it depend on the car (maybe the little blue bus have no front or back axis but a center axis instead)?

2. i read that red wheels (red wheel entries in the repair menu) are indicating wheels that are totally (over 90%) broken or not on the car, does this mean that yellow wheels are definitely on the car and repairable? I remember seeing yellow wheels on a little blue bus but it definitely where not the front or back wheels.

3. green wheels are definitely one the car and not broken, right?

As far as I know, it'll give you the option to repair any of the four wheels in the scroll action menu. It will detail which is which, and it should also show them in appropriate colour (red for damaged, green for healthy.)

I don't know what you mean by "not on the car". Surely it will only show you the option to repair the four or two wheels that actually exist. It should detail which they are.

1 correct

2 not sure, but likey incorrect

3 incorrect

Just repair the first four wheels in the list, those should be the right ones.

ok thanks than i will focus on the back and front axis from now on.

@chrispow: the wiki says that cars do not have all the wheels shown in the repair menu. This seems to be because there are cars in DayZ and Arma2 (like trucks and tanks [maybe]) that have more that 2 axes (some trucks have two back axes) and/or more than two wheels on some axes (some trucks have two wheels on each side of their back axes).

In the current state the game can not or does not check how many wheels the car has when you open the repair menu, it simply shows all possible wheels (on ingame cars in general) and it is up to the player to decide/know which ones are actually "on the car".
