If the brake fluid's performance is poor, it can lead to insufficient friction between the brake pads and brake discs. Over time, the brake fluid lines may age and deteriorate. If the brake fluid is not replaced in a timely manner, it will contain excessive impurities and moisture, which can affect the transmission of braking force.

I’ve driven this Camry for six years, so I’m quite the expert on spongy brakes. Last time during maintenance, I mentioned the issue. The mechanic used a diagnostic tool to check the brake booster pressure and found it was 15% below the standard value—ended up replacing the whole unit. Felt like a new car afterward! The pedal went from mushy like stepping on cotton to firm like a spring, stopping solidly with just a light tap at red lights. I’d recommend checking your vacuum lines for leaks too—aging rubber can cause a hissing sound. Don’t skimp on brake fluid changes either; every two years is ideal. Excess moisture content makes the pedal feel vague. Before long trips, clean the iron dust from brake disc grooves—these small details seriously affect pedal feel.

Last week I took my Corolla to the 4S store for soft brake issues. The technician measured the four wheel cylinders with a pressure gauge and found the left rear wheel had significantly less braking force. Upon disassembly, we found the guide pins were completely rusted stuck, with brake pads worn down to just 3mm on one side. We replaced the full set of brake pads with anti-squeal paste, derusted the guide pins and applied special grease. Now the brakes feel particularly responsive during rush hour traffic - just light pressure delivers strong stopping power, unlike before when I had to stomp on the pedal. Three suggestions for female car owners: check dust boots for damage after rainy seasons, replace pads immediately upon hearing metal grinding sounds (don't wait until wear indicators are gone and rotors get damaged), and remember OEM brake pads may cost more but produce less dust that stains alloy wheels.

What to Do If the Inner CV Joint Cannot Be Removed?

The method for removing the inner CV joint is: first remove the inner retaining ring and then knock out the inner CV joint. The inner and outer CV joints, collectively referred to as CV joints, are important components in a car's drivetrain system. Their function is to transmit the engine's power from the transmission to the two front wheels, enabling the car to drive at high speeds. The inner CV joint consists of a bell-shaped housing, a tripod bearing or steel balls, a dust cover, a retaining ring, and grease. During regular vehicle use, it is recommended that owners inspect the vehicle's chassis during each maintenance session by lifting the car with a lift. When inspecting the chassis, check whether the CV joint's boot is damaged. If the boot is found to be damaged, it should be replaced immediately to prevent wear on the inner CV joint and ensure safe driving.

Is Subject One All Multiple Choice Questions?

Subject One of the driver's license test is not entirely multiple-choice questions. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice questions and true/false questions, according to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses." Each question is worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a test-taker answers 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the examination. Subject One, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. The content of Subject One includes: regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for Subject One examination: Candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, the test begins. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect and sign the score report. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule Subject One. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the examination process ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three allow only five attempts each. Subject Two and Subject Three tests must be scheduled at least ten days apart. If you fail the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject Four.

Why is the rear door of the Lavida difficult to open?

The reasons and solutions for the difficulty in opening the rear door of the Lavida are as follows: 1. Adjust the door handle. Reason: Some vehicles may have door handles installed with cables that are clamped onto the handle, such as the Bora, older Sagitar, and older Lavida models. If the cable is clamped in an inappropriate position, it can make opening and closing the door more laborious. Solution: Use a T-20 spline to remove the small cover of the door handle. Open the door, and you will find a small hole on the door edge. Use the T-20 spline to loosen the screw inside (be careful not to remove it completely), allowing the small cover of the door handle to be removed by hand. Then, you will see the cable clamped in the slot of the door handle. If the cable is tightly clamped, it will make opening the door more difficult. Therefore, slightly loosen the cable to adjust it appropriately. 2. Lubricate the door lock post and door lock. Reason: There may be significant friction between the door handle lock and the lock post, making it harder to open and close the door. Prolonged use can lead to poor lubrication, resulting in difficulty opening the door. Solution: Use a screw loosening agent to lubricate the door lock post. Spray a small amount of the agent lightly onto the lock post and then apply some to the door lock. This will provide lubrication and, if there is rust, help remove the copper corrosion. 3. Adjust the lock post. Reason: The door lock post may be misaligned or positioned too far inward. A misaligned lock post will inevitably make opening and closing the door more difficult and may also cause the door edge to be uneven with the rear fender line. If the lock post is too far inward, it will similarly make operating the door more strenuous. Solution: Use a large ratchet and an M8 tool to loosen the two screws on the lock post. Adjust the lock post to the correct position and secure it. Close the door to check if it fits properly, ensuring the door edge line aligns with the rear fender line and the height is consistent. If the door edge line is lower than the rear fender line, it indicates the lock post is still too far inward and needs to be adjusted outward gradually until it reaches the correct position.
