Why experienced drivers put plastic bags under their wheels

Many drivers carry ordinary cheap T-shirt bags from the store in the trunks of their “iron horses”. They are useful for carrying purchases, but they can come in very handy both when servicing the car and on the road. And about how exactly to use them not for their intended purpose, but for “automobile” cases, the AvtoVzglyad portal tells.
Let’s start with the fact that the bags make it easier to maintain the machine. For example, they are very useful when changing the fluid in the power steering (GUR). To do this, we first put two such plastic bags on the floor of the garage and drive over them with wheels. Then we open the hood, take the so-called Janet syringe, adjust the hose to it and lower it into the power steering reservoir. Using this simple design, we fill a new fluid into the system and turn the steering wheel with the engine off.
This must be done so that the old mining is squeezed out by the “return”. And the packages are just needed so that the “steering wheel” turns more easily, because the amplifier does not work. So, by replacement, we change the fluid to a new one. And you don’t have to disassemble anything. And there will be no increased loads on the tires when turning: the packs reduce friction. Especially if the garage floor is concrete.
“Kulek” is useful on the go. Let’s say we were driving to the dacha and a mile of dirt road was washed away. If the car has front-wheel drive, you cannot do without chains or special bracelets on the drive shaft. The chains themselves and the fasteners on the same bracelets are made of steel. And the problem is that when driving through ruts, the metal rubs against the alloy wheel and leaves scratches on it. Not too critical, but extremely unpleasant, because the car loses its presentation. Yes, and repainting “pouring” is long and expensive. So to save ourselves from trouble, we put “p / e bags” (rolled up) under the steel locks of the bracelets – this way the enamel of the discs will certainly remain intact and you will get to the “hacienda” without loss.
Polyethylene will help to fix the loose plastic piston. For example, if a stone was touched on the primer, causing the fender to warp and the wire torn off. We take a piece of the package, wrap it on a piston or a hairpin, not saving material. Then it remains to install the fender in place and tighten the fasteners tightly. Of course, the solution is not the most effective, but contacting a car dealer or car service will help.
