Have you ever driven your car at high speed? Or do you actually enjoy such things, like racing on the road? Whatever the reason, speeding on the road will have a negative impact on your safety while driving. Not only that, but your car's components will also be affected.

You need to know which components are at risk of damage due to speeding. Pay attention, so you think twice before speeding.

Ball joint

Ball joint is a component in the car's suspension that connects the arm (wing) to the wheel knuckle. Although it is directly attached to the arm, the ball joint is not secured with bolts. The ball joint also serves as the wheel axis when turning left and right. So, it's no surprise that the ball joint can wear out quickly, especially if you drive your car at high speeds.

One symptom of a damaged ball joint is the emergence of disturbing noises from the bottom of the car. Checking it is quite easy. Jack up the front wheel and shake it up and down at an angle. Feel if the ball joint is still intact; if not, then that is a sign that the ball joint in your car is damaged.

Tie Rod

Tie rod is one of the important components in a car. The tie rod connects the wheel to the steering rack end. Each front wheel has one tie rod, but some car types use two tie rods for one wheel.

Symptoms of a damaged tie rod can be easily felt in the movement of your car's steering. This is indicated by a steering wheel that is difficult to control or unstable, even swaying.

Another symptom you might feel that indicates a damaged tie rod is a steering wheel that vibrates and makes noise when turning.

To ensure whether the tie rod in your car is damaged or not, you need to jack up the front wheel and shake it left and right. If you hear strange noises, then it can be confirmed that your tie rod is damaged.

Rack end

Rack end is a component in the car's suspension that is prone to damage faster than other components. The rack end functions to regulate the alignment of the wheels when the car is moving straight. If the rack end in your car is malfunctioning, it is certain that your car will experience imbalance. Several factors that cause the rack end to wear out easily include driving at high speeds, frequently passing through potholes, and lack of regular maintenance.

Coil

Coil functions as a power generator in the car. When you speed, it is the same as driving at high speeds, which are not calculated. Uncalculated speeds will disrupt the ignition process and damage the coil as a power generator.

Carburetor

The carburetor serves as a manual mechanism that supplies gasoline to the cylinder. Of course, the carburetor also plays an important role in regulating the car's speed. If the idle valve setting is too high, the carburetor valve cannot close properly. This causes an excessive fuel supply to the cylinder and can potentially cause your car to stall.

So those are 5 car components that are at risk of damage if you speed. Besides endangering yourself, speeding on the road also jeopardizes your wallet, you know. A well-performing car will make your driving activities more comfortable and safe. One way to maintain your car's performance is to be cautious while driving, which means not speeding.

So, drive safely, obey traffic rules, and prioritize safety, okay? Take care of your life and your wallet.
