Lebaran Homecoming With Private Cars? It Is Important To Check The Steering Part

JAKARTA - In order for this year's homecoming to run comfortably, safely, and smoothly, travelers must ensure that the condition of the car is prime, for example the steering wheel.

The steering wheel in the car serves to stabilize front wheels directed by the driver. This is important to note, especially since this section is directly connected to the driver who will carry passengers

Head of the Cilandak Auto2000 Workshop, Sapta Agung Nugraha, said that vehicle users must pay attention to several conditions on the steering wheel, one of which is by paying attention to whether there is a strange sound or not.

"When conditions stop, if the steering wheel sounds 'klek-klek' when directed to the right and left, this is usually related to the yoke steering wheel that is getting loose," Sapta told VOI, Wednesday, March 27.

In addition, prospective travelers are advised to check whether the steering wheel is vibrational. Because if it vibrates, then this has something to do with the condition of the tires that need to be balanced.

"In addition, use the size of the tires according to standard size to avoid damage to the steering wheel components," explained Sapta.

The power steering section also requires regular maintenance, one of which is by checking the oil regularly and knowing based on the color of the liquid.

"Check the power steering oil regularly, if the color is dark, it should be replaced," said Sapta.

Also make sure the entire steering wheel looks good, such as checking if there is a tear at the bottom. If there is a tear, then dust, water, and dirt will enter and affect the performance of the steering wheel.

'Make sure the boots at the bottom of the steering wheel are not torn. If it is torn, then the dust, water, and dirt will enter and damage the power steering component," concluded Sapta.
