Statements on the urgent replacement of the “gasket between the steering wheel and the seat”, basically, can be heard from the car service workers. And the most common recipients for replacing this gasket are women. Although among men quite often there are unfortunate drivers whose cars would become much better functioning if they replaced the gaskets between the steering wheel and the seat. But what kind of gasket is this? Some, as it turned out, also have to explain this.
Life example
To understand the meaning of the presented expression, we can consider as an example a case from life.
A painted beauty is approaching the service station on Mitsubishi. He gets out of the car, walks up to the guys and says, they say, something constantly rattles on my right. The specialist gets behind the wheel. Having made a circle in the parking lot, he notices that, indeed, when a car passes through irregularities, for example, the joints between concrete slabs, with which the parking area is laid, the lady rattles something in the glove compartment. Opening it, he takes out a lonely spray can of deodorant, and hands it to the lady with the words:
- On your "Lancer 9" the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat needs to be changed. And everything in your car will immediately become in order.
And he goes to the door of the service station. The lady behind him:
- And how much will it cost?
Amazed car mechanic turns to her:
- Yes, you can do it for free.
- Yes? Can you change it for me?
Locksmith smiles:
- No, sorry. This can only be done by you. Well ... Or your husband, as a last resort ...
Lady, in amazement:
“But where to look for her?” Where is she located? And how to change it?
But the locksmith, without answering anything else, disappeared into the door of the service station.
What is between the steering wheel and the seat?
The lady had to travel a few more service stations, until, finally, they did not open her eyes to what it was “laying between the steering wheel and the seat,” and how it can be replaced ...
But you could even think of it yourself that they simply laughed at her. In fact, no matter how you look into the car, there is actually nothing between the steering wheel and the seat. Until you sit in it.
And here, between the steering wheel and the seat, a kind of “gasket” arises, and otherwise - a negligent incompetent driver who is not so. Either he rattled there, then it creaked. And all the roots of car breakdowns lie precisely in the fact that the driver is not the “driver”, but a completely non-thinking “gasket”, which, by its improper driving and improper car care, makes itself problems.
The difference between "drivers" and "riders"
Often these unfortunate drivers are called "riders." The driver, according to experts from the car service, is the one who cares about his car. He is a person who thinks and is able to draw parallels between proper operation and the long and reliable operation of his car. Do not rush about over the bumps, do not ride the first one when your tachometer needle goes to red line, change the oil on time, etc.
And if a normal car has to change the chassis every couple of weeks, then this is a direct message to think about removing the “gasket” between the steering wheel and the seat. Indeed, not only their cars suffer from such "riders". In the pockets of such "gaskets" often on the basis of this, "budget holes" are formed, which can be patched only by the correct use of the car.
The most interesting thing is that people think that they are doing everything right. They drive well, wipe the car well, and store it at night in a good garage. Only their machine now and then for some reason still breaks. Such drivers sin not on themselves, but on the fact that they come across some kind of defective car. It is these drivers who most often have to hear statements from car service workers about “laying”, “riders” and that a bad dancer always (you yourself know what) is in the way.
How to fix the situation?
Is it possible to fix the current situation? How to change the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat, as advised by a service worker? First of all, you should think about your riding style, not be too lazy and take a couple of lessons from the same teaching "riding" specialists. In driving schools they teach everything, only it was necessary to listen carefully.
They talk about how improper driving affects the components and parts of a car, which can threaten the driver and his car. Get a little insight into how at least the main units and components of your car work, and you will immediately become much more correct to drive. Plus, you will not go to the maintenance service for nothing, causing smiles on the faces of workers.
Conclusion
It may seem that changing the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat means changing the driver himself. That is, allow an experienced and understanding specialist to drive your car behind the wheel, from which neither the car nor those around you will suffer. But this is not so. Here, the driver’s mind, the ability to know and understand what can and cannot be done, and not the driver’s body itself, plays the role of “laying” as such.
If you are skilled in how your car functions, how you can drive it, but how you can, learn to drive your car correctly, respect pedestrians and other road users, you can safely say that you successfully changed the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat!
