Whether to leave the right wheel on the right?

Shifter steering from right to left - quite a radical step. The reason for this may be a complete failure of steering "wrong side", a ban on the operation of the vehicle with the right wheel and many other reasons. As a result of a complex technical "operations" right-hand drive car becomes levorulnoy. But is it worth ovchinka candle? Most often, the question arises permutation steering the owners of Japanese cars, this is due to their desire to buy the cheap stuffed with additional options of the car and, adding slightly to its cost, to remake it "on Europe." The first difficulty - this time waiting car after the procedure, it takes at least three months. But so anxious immediately after purchase and agonizing paperwork to ride in his car, to see how it will show you ... But sometimes even three months of waiting may not be limited. The second difficulty: the permutation steering is possible only on those models that have levorulnye counterparts in the European market. At first glance it seems that is not too difficult to change the location of the steering wheel to the right to the left side. But besides the steering rack have to remodel and many other surrounding parts. Some models are analogues, even going to the various factories, and their designs full of differences. The car will suffer a permutation steering rack, steering column mounting bracket, dashboard alteration (including the transfer sensors, heating and air conditioning, and some of them will be impossible to move, so you have to say goodbye to them). Transferring tubes that fit in the engine compartment to the air conditioner and stove (they are likely to lengthen or shorten), the transfer of the pedal group with brackets. Change for the vacuum brake booster, throttle cable and clutch master cylinder. The need to free up space in the engine compartment to transport nodes in the other direction. And the hardest thing - to cut the motor shield (firewall), cut into pieces, boil and set back. Motor Shield - a barrier between the interior and the space under the hood. This is one of the pillars of the body, which knocked out his number, as well as on a shield attached all the details that need to be rearranged. Asymmetric shape of the motor shield, so when done with them manipulate the machine becomes very unreliable, the superstructure body noticeably deteriorates, as if visited by car in an accident. The third problem: The service was not performed at authorized service centers (except a few who have a license), so such a delicate procedure to be engaged, more likely, some garage master. Of course, it is best to seek specialist advice on, there are many people who earn their living by such work. But no guarantees they can not give, do anything and the conscience, but still at risk of the customer. Such deep involvement in the important automotive bodies is fraught with a loss of factory quality. By the way, it still requires official registration and later - in fact TCP write that car with the right wheel. Little chance that legally can get a positive mark on the passed inspection, and generally re-register the car (the main suspect will cut the motor shield with the chassis number). The fourth "pitfall": think of the money question which was raised originally - right-hand drive car bought to save money, and steering modifications introduced as an inexpensive operation expenses which would still be less than the custom options available on levorulnoy car. And if the issue of security and reliability can not be intimidated want to move the wheel left to right, you should think about the purse. The average cost of a permutation of controls on the other side is about $ 5,000. We take into account that the purchase cost of $ pravorulki 10-50 thousand turns out that such a procedure will cost half the price of the machine itself, but for all models transaction price is about the same. The money will go to replace the 30-60 parts, without which the car can not be main dilemma - to decide on pulling machine, knowing that it will only damage her. Japanese cars are known for their quality and the quality factor of the assembly and transport of steering from right to left only to "make it right, pose a danger both to those who ventured on it, and everyone who rides with him in the car and the next. The scales "against" outweighed, so that either already buying right-hand drive car and not touch the wheel or buy levorulnuyu.
