Cars, as vehicles that you use daily for both short and long distances, certainly require regular maintenance. How could they not? With daily use, several components inevitably experience a decline in condition.

As time goes by, the components of the car will deteriorate, whether due to normal usage or because of excessive age.

To keep the car in prime condition and comfortable to drive, you must routinely maintain every part of the car's components. What components of the car require periodic servicing? To ensure a comfortable driving experience with components that are always in good condition, let's take a look at the review of car components that need regular servicing.

1. Car Suspension

The roads in big cities are mostly smooth and comfortable for your car to traverse. However, there are sometimes potholes that escape your notice, especially if you are on a road trip out of town.

This can make the car's suspension very vulnerable to damage. A common problem experienced with the car's suspension is a shaky ride.

It's not just the roads that can be blamed if the suspension is damaged; the driver's rough handling of the car can also be a reason for the suspension's deterioration. In fact, the lifespan of the car's suspension is relatively long. The suspension components like ball joints, tie rods, stabilizers, and bushings can last up to 100,000 kilometers or about 5 years.

2. Air Conditioning (AC)

The most frequently used component with very high intensity is definitely the Air Conditioning system. The AC has to work hard to cool the entire cabin of the car, especially if used for long distances that require a lot of time.

With the hot weather during the day, the AC is certainly a necessity that needs attention.

Common problems with the AC components often occur in the compressor and the freon that starts to run low. Regular servicing of the AC is certainly necessary to maintain your driving comfort. Servicing the AC can be done by replacing lubricants, refrigerants, and cleaning the AC.

At the very least, you are advised to service the AC once a year, or based on the distance driven. Please service the AC if your driving distance has reached 10,000 to 20,000 KM, whether in the city or out of town.

There is a special treatment that should be done if you often drive on dusty roads. You are advised to service the AC if the kilometers have reached 3,000. The AC servicing process also depends on the condition of your car's AC. Depending on its condition, the AC repair process can take anywhere from one to eight hours.

3. Balancing and Wheel Alignment

The condition of the suspension also usually affects the car's balance. The service needed to maintain your car's balance is balancing and wheel alignment. Wheel alignment is the process of restoring the straightness of the four wheels on the car. Then it is balanced by performing balancing. By doing balancing and wheel alignment, your driving comfort is maintained without being disturbed by your car's imbalance.

Those are the car components that require periodic servicing. You may evaluate your driving style. A rough driving style will make the car components less durable, causing them to wear out quickly and requiring a larger budget for repairs. So, treat your car well!
