YOGYAKARTA - The suspension system is an important part of the car that affects comfort while driving. If you feel a vibration or often experience shocks while driving the car, it could be because the suspension system is problematic. Therefore, you need to know tips for car suspension maintenance.
The suspension system consists of various components located between the car body and the series of wheels. These components are integrated with each other and are designed to relieve vibrations when driving on uneven and bumpy roads. In addition, the suspension also works to support the body and keep the wheels stable.
If there is one component that has problems in the suspension system, it will disturb the comfort while driving. So what are the car suspension treatments that need to be done?
Suspension or car legs are components that always work extra when the car is driven. In addition, repairs to the suspension of the car are also known to cost quite a lot. Of course, every car owner wants the vehicle suspension system to be durable and have good performance.
Therefore, so that the speed of the car remains smooth and optimal, here are tips for maintaining the suspension of the car that you can apply:
One of the suspension maintenance steps that must be taken by car owners is spooring and balancing. This maintenance needs to be done regularly every 6 months or 10,000 km, depending on which conditions need improvement.
Spooring is done to adjust the steering angle at the standard position. Because there may be a shift in position during the use of the car. While balancing is useful for regulating the stability of the wheel spin.
Suspension of the car also needs to be cleaned regularly by washing. This step is taken to remove dirt, such as sand, dust, and mud that sticks to the suspension component of the car. The existence of dirt that is not cleaned for a long time will become karak and cause carat.
The load that exceeds the car's capacity is also one of the factors that can damage the suspension system. See how much the maximum load capacity of your car is and make sure the load is not excessive.
The parking position also affects the condition of the car suspension. Make sure to park the car in a flat place. Do not park the car on the surface tilted because it can cause great pressure on the lower position of the car. The imbalance in the position of the car will make the suspension easily damaged, such as the function of the spring weakening and rubber per break easily.
When driving the car, you should avoid crossing potholes and bumpy roads. Cars that often hit uneven roads or holes will cause sudden movements. This condition makes the suspension easily damaged until the tire breaks.
Another tip you need to do is check the suspension bolts regularly. Because the collisions and vibrations on the road over time can cause the position of the bolts and the binder nuts on the suspension to become slack. If there are loose suspension bolts, you need to tighten them immediately.
Don't forget to change the suspension oil regularly. Use oil that is of the type and type according to your car suspension. It should also be noted that not all suspensions provide replacement for stempet or grage.
Those are a number of tips for maintaining car suspensions to stay durable and work optimally when driving. Treatment or repair of the suspension needs to be done when you find the car has characteristics, ranging from weak damping, loud sound on certain roads, unstable rate, to oil leakage.
