A car consists of various components, each playing a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and safe driving experience.
One of these components is the tie rod, which connects the steering system to the front wheels, allowing the car to maneuver smoothly and maintain stability.
When the tie rod is damaged, it can impact the vehicle significantly, making it harder to control, causing unstable wheels, and even producing unusual noises.
To better understand its importance, here are some main functions of a car tie rod that you should know!
The tie rod is located at the end of the steering gear and steering knuckle. When the steering wheel is turned, this component creates a rotational movement toward the steering gearbox, which produces a push-and-pull motion.
This motion causes the front wheel to shift or turn in the direction determined by the driver.
Tie rods also help absorb vibrations when driving on uneven roads. This is possible because tie rods are equipped with a ball joint that enables multi-directional movement.
The long tie rod helps reduce vertical vibrations up and down, while the tie rod end helps minimize lateral movements left and right.
Tie rods also function to adjust the distance between the front wheels or wheelbase.
There are two types of adjustments, the first one is toe-in, which keeps the front wheels straight and stable. And the other one is toe-out, which helps prevent uneven tire wear.
After understanding the functions and uses, it’s also important to know the signs of a damaged tie rod to avoid unwanted risks while driving.
These are some signs of a damaged tie rod that you should know:
Unusual vibrations in the steering wheel or cabin while driving.
Squeaking or creaking noises when turning the steering wheel left or right.
Reduced vehicle stability, as a damaged tie rod can affect steering performance and maneuvering.
Uneven tire wear due to improper locking of the wheels, causing uneven friction on the tires.
If you experience any of these symptoms while driving, it’s crucial to schedule maintenance, regular inspections, or even replace the component immediately.
A damaged tie rod can make the car difficult to steer, cause unstable wheels, and increase steering vibrations. While all of it can raise the risk of accidents.
Some common causes that can cause tie rod damage include:
Wear and tear from constant friction when the car is in motion.
Damage to the tie rod end located near the wheel.
Damage to the joint between the long tie rod and the tie rod end is essential for proper tie rod function.
Uneven tire wear, which can lead to tire bulging and add excessive pressure on the tie rod.

SIM A is a driving license that must be owned by every driver of a four-wheeled or more motor vehicle in Indonesia, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles weighing no more than 3.500 kg.
The validity period of SIM A is 5 years from the date of issuance, and once it expires, it must be renewed immediately.
There are renewal fees for SIM A, which include the issuance fee, health test fee, psychological test fee, and insurance fee. Check out the details below!
According to Government Regulation (PP) No. 76 of 2020 concerning the Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) that regulates SIM A renewal fees, the issuance fee is IDR 80.000.
If the renewal is done at the Satpas office or Public Service Mall, the fees for the health test, psychological test, and insurance are usually fixed.
The health test generally costs IDR 35.000. The psychological test fee, which was previously IDR 60.000, has increased to IDR 100.000.
However, a cheaper alternative is taking the psychological test online, which costs IDR 57.500. Lastly, the insurance fee is IDR 50.000.
If the rates are the same, you will need to prepare around IDR 265.000 for the SIM A renewal. But if you take the online psychological test, the total will be IDR 222.500.
As the most preferred method by many people these days, here are the steps to renew SIM A via offline:
Visit a SIM renewal service location such as Satpas, SIM Keliling, or a SIM service counter.
Take a SIM renewal application form.
Fill out the form with accurate and complete personal data.
Undergo a physical health examination at the service location.
Have your photo taken and verify your identity.
Make the payment according to the applicable renewal fee.
Wait for the new SIM A to be printed and issued.
Besides offline services, SIM A renewal can also be done online through the official Digital Korlantas POLRI application, available both on Android and iOS. Here’s how:
Download the Digital Korlantas POLRI app to your mobile phone.
Complete the registration process and upload the required documents, such as your ID card (KTP), old SIM, health test result, and passport photo.
Make the payment using the available methods in the app.
Once all steps are completed, your SIM A renewal will be processed and sent to the address provided in the form.
In addition to the fees, there are several requirements you must meet to renew your SIM A, including:
Five photocopies of your e-KTP or ID card
Original SIM A
Medical certificate from a doctor
Certificate of passing the psychological test
Proof of active BPJS Health or National Health Insurance (JKN) membership.
If you plan to renew your SIM A at a Public Service Mall, you must first obtain an online queue number. The renewal process is usually quick, taking about 30 minutes.
So, that’s the breakdown of the SIM A renewal fees you need to prepare and the requirements you must meet to ensure a smooth process. Hopefully, this is useful!

Mencari pekerjaan memang bukanlah hal yang mudah. Belum lagi keadaan serba tak kondusif akibat pandemi COVID-19 membuat beberapa usaha dan perkantoran harus terkena dampak ekonomi yang cukup berat.
Jika Anda adalah lulusan baru (fresh graduate) atau terpaksa kehilangan pekerjaan akibat COVID-19, Anda tetap memiliki kesempatan untuk memulai karier yang baru.
Simak beberapa tips di bawah ini untuk mempersiapkan diri Anda menjadi karyawan baru dan menemukan pekerjaan baru, bahkan di tengah pandemi.
Sambil mencari pekerjaan tetap, tak ada salahnya jika Anda mencari pekerjaan jangka pendek seperti penulis lepas, karyawan magang, atau pekerjaan dengan kontrak singkat lainnya.
Anda bisa belajar terbiasa dengan tanggung jawab, disiplin, sikap professional, dan bekerja dalam tim. Sehingga Anda mempunyai nilai tambah saat bersaing mencari pekerjaan di perusahaan lainnya. Selain menambah pengalaman, Anda tetap bisa mendapatkan pemasukan.
Bukan rahasia lagi bahwa koneksi penting untuk membantu karier serta bisnis Anda. Jika Anda mempunyai kerabat yang telah bekerja di perusahaan atau bisnis lainnya, maka Anda bisa menanyakan lowongan pekerjaan apa yang sedang tersedia. Selain itu, Anda juga bisa memanfaatkan koneksi untuk mendapatkan rekomendasi kerja.
Mencari pekerjaan bukanlah hal yang mudah. Jika belum diterima di satu perusahaan, maka jangan patah semangat. Tetap kirimkan lamaran ke berbagai perusahaan dan pekerjaan yang sesuai dengan kompetensi Anda. Karena proses rekrutmen karyawan membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama, biasanya Anda bisa menunggu 1 – 3 bulan untuk dipanggil wawancara dengan perusahaan. Jadi, jangan mengharapkan hasil yang instan.
Jika Anda belum bisa mendapatkan pekerjaan sebagai karyawan tetap, mungkin Anda bisa mencoba menjadi karyawan lepas/freelance dan karyawan magang.
Belum menerima panggilan wawancara? Anda bisa mengisi waktu luang dengan mempelajari berbagai skill baru yang akan berguna untuk karier professional. Saat ini terdapat banyak kelas online gratis maupun berbayar untuk berbagai macam kebutuhan. Seperti belajar Google Ads, tips wawancara kerja, kelas mengedit, atau skill lainnya.
Skill yang dimiliki oleh individu bisa menjadi “nilai jual lebih” bagi perusahaan. Kemampuan Anda bisa dipamerkan melalui CV atau portfolio kerja. Lagipula, tak selamanya Anda harus bekerja kantoran untuk mendapatkan uang.
Setelah melamar pekerjaan, Anda pun mendapatkan undangan untuk wawancara virtual. Maka Anda harus mempersiapkan beberapa hal. Pertama, persiapkan laptop dengan kamera yang memadai serta jaringan internet yang baik. Sehingga wawancara bisa berjalan dengan lancar.
Selanjutnya, persiapkan diri untuk menjawab pertanyaan dengan recruiter. Jaga agar pandangan Anda tetap fokus kepada pewawancara. Hindari menggunakan ponsel saat proses wawancara. Terakhir, jangan lupa untuk tetap berpakaian sopan dan professional walaupun hanya menjalani wawancara virtual.
Selamat mencari kerja!
Salam,
