Decorating your car, making it unusual and attractive, equipping it with additional equipment is the main hobby of most car owners. However, sometimes the excitement exceeds the limits
A car is one of the most expensive purchases in life and it is not customary in Russia to change cars regularly. We love the soul, and, to be honest, sometimes we can’t afford it. So the “iron horse” will remain in the family garage for a long time. And one day it necessarily begins to “transform” to the wishes of its owner, acquiring the same “tuning”. A lot of Chinese junk is sold, it’s cheap, so the driver starts to get furious and does several “installations” that may fail one day.
A striking example is the now popular hobby for various wheel nuts and bolts. In pursuit of fashion, car owners remove ordinary fasteners and change them to a more stylish and attractive one, sometimes forgetting about the primary task of the spare part – to firmly hold the wheel. One day there may be a nut on the hub that is visually reliable and beautiful, but in the difficult task of “turning the earth” it simply fails. What will it be?
The first and most common example is pasting. The hardened hairpin emerging from the hub is heated to very severe temperatures and instantly cooled in a puddle, triggering numerous chemical processes. The car manufacturer calculates such things, but did the Chinese nut manufacturer do the same? Ask. However, holding on is not the saddest result.
It is much worse if such a nut is simply torn off. Why is she so cheap? Because fasteners are often made on the knee from raw metal, which cannot physically withstand the loads applied to it. The main thing is beautiful! And in a turn, the fist is decently loaded, and our long-suffering ways do not contribute to the easy life of the wheel. The result is a gap with all its consequences. And the reason is the desire for beauty.
For sweets – slow torture. Substandard fasteners can gradually weaken, stretch and unscrew day after day. Shaking, loads and overheating do their job – the wheel sags. On a terrible day, the studs just cut off and the driver loses the wheel – along the way, of course. We don’t think we need to describe what happens next. Trouble and destruction. So is the beauty worth regular jogging with a wheel wrench on the car?
Improving the car, you need to remember: each element installed at the factory is designed for specific loads and tasks. Manufacturer’s warranties are valid only on standard units – analogues and other “variations” automatically deprive the driver of confidence in the future. Strict? Well, as it is. One thing is a radio tape recorder, which in the worst case can knock out an electrician or land a battery, and quite another are wheel attachments, which directly affect safety.
