Check at the Car Workshop, 5 Vehicle Damages Often Appears After Homecoming

To check for vehicle damage, it is better to use the services of an experienced car repair mechanic. 

The Eid Al-Fitr 1443H homecoming brings a number of motorists to travel thousands of kilometers to meet relatives in their hometown. The Ministry of Transportation predicts 36.17 million people will use private land vehicles, both cars and motorbikes, for this year's Eid homecoming.

Now, the flow of vehicles is returning to the overseas land where the homecomers have been living all this time. A long return journey has to be taken which sometimes brings some damage to the vehicle. Reporting from Lifepal.co.id, there are several things that need to be considered in the condition of the vehicle after the Eid homecoming is over. 

Clutch Pad Run Out

This disease generally afflicts manual transmission cars.  It is clear that the clutch problem is a problem that is often experienced by travelers.  Clutch problems are generally caused by the driving style of the car user.  When the road is jammed, especially on an incline, car users are sometimes lazy to pull the handbrake and use the half-clutch driving method with the transmission in first gear.

This habit makes the clutch lining wear out. In addition, the clutch canvas will experience heavy friction between the flywheel and the clutch or clutch cover.

Tire scraping

Traveling long distances has definitely affected the condition of the tires more or less. Therefore, pay close attention to the tires. If when you are driving and have balance problems, do balancing and spooring at the partner workshop. You can also consider changing tires if the tires are thin or starting to bald at certain edges or sides.

And don't forget to check the tire pressure. Because if the tires lack air, there is the potential for the vehicle to waste fuel. 

Braking is not optimal

If you hear an unnatural sound when braking, you should be wary. Immediately check under the car and make sure the brake fluid is not leaking.

To be sure, do a check at the workshop where the mechanic needs to check the car's brake fluid level. If it decreases drastically, immediately check the hose and replace it immediately. 

soak battery

Components that function to store the car's electrical energy must also be checked. Because if it is damaged or worn, the car can break down suddenly or cannot be started.

For those who use wet batteries, keep the battery volume well. Damage can occur because the battery water is below the bottom line.

For dry battery users, the detection of battery health also needs to be considered periodically. You can make observations through the sound of the car when it is started. If the sound is weaker than usual, take it to a repair shop immediately for further inspection.

Shockbreaker condition

Leaking shock breaker can be caused by the driver's style when passing through damaged roads, overloading the car, or using tires that are not good. Therefore, caution is an important thing to do when you are driving. There is nothing wrong with re-checking the condition of the shockbreaker after a long trip.
