Kenapa Putaran Setir Mobil Tidak Sama? Ini Penyebab dan Solusinya

The uneven steering wheel rotation while driving is a serious issue as it poses a significant threat to driver safety. As is known, the steering wheel is the main control when driving a car. If this component has problems, the safety and comfort of driving are greatly affected. Therefore, drivers must understand the causes and solutions to this problem.

Causes of Uneven Steering Wheel Rotation

There are several factors that cause the steering wheel rotation to be uneven. Here are the complete causes.

1. Damage to the car's steering system components

The first cause is due to damage to the car's steering system components. This includes damage to the belt and power steering pump, which reduces the steering wheel's performance, as well as damage to the long tie rod and rack steer, causing the steering to be heavy on one side.

2. Reduced power steering fluid

The next cause is due to reduced power steering fluid. As is known, power steering consists of two types: EPS (Electronic Power Steering) and HPS (Hydraulic Power Steering). In the case of HPS, the power steering fluid often decreases due to usage or leaks, causing the steering to be heavy on one side and resulting in an imbalance in rotation.

3. Replacement of car steering system components

The next cause is due to the replacement of car steering system components. As is known, components such as tie rods, long tie rods, and rack steer greatly affect the steering angle of the car. If you replace one of these components, it will certainly have a significant impact on the car's maneuverability, especially if one of those components is counterfeit.

4. Problems with the car's braking system components

The imbalance in the steering wheel rotation can also be caused by problematic car braking system components. Examples include dirty brake pads, worn brake pads, leaking brake pistons, and sticky braking components. 

5. Incorrect Front Wheel Alignment (FWA)

An incorrect FWA can also affect the steering wheel rotation. FWA itself is an adjustment used to control the front wheels of the car, which plays a role in lightening the steering. 

Solutions for Uneven Steering Wheel Rotation 

To address the issue of uneven steering wheel rotation, there are several solutions you can apply. Here are the complete solutions.

1. Regularly check the car's steering system components

To ensure the steering is always even, you need to regularly check the car's steering system components. Replace any damaged components immediately, and make sure to replace them with original parts. 

2. Regularly check the car's braking system components

Next, you also need to regularly and periodically check the car's braking system components. If the brake pads are dirty, clean them immediately. However, if the brake pads are worn down, replace the components right away.

3. Perform wheel alignment and balancing

Performing wheel alignment and balancing on the car's wheels will result in a more optimal wheel rotation angle. As a result, the wheels can rotate smoothly even at high speeds, thus reducing vibrations that may reach the steering. This way, the steering wheel rotation becomes balanced and stable.

4. Regular and periodic servicing

The last solution is to regularly service at a professional workshop like Daihatsu. By servicing at the official Daihatsu workshop, your car will receive proper maintenance. Damaged components will be replaced with high-quality new parts, and monitoring will be conducted under the supervision of professional mechanics.
