Parking with the front wheels not straightened is harmful to the car, and the harms are: 1. It can damage the steering system, as the steering linkage cannot return to its original position and remains under stress, which accelerates aging over time; 2. It harms the suspension system, as the suspension system tilts in the direction the vehicle is turned, causing the soft-supporting rubber pads and rubber sleeves to constantly bear stress and wear out faster; 3. It accelerates wheel wear, as not straightening the wheels causes the sidewalls of the tires to bear greater stress and deform, speeding up wear on the tire sidewalls. The correct parking sequence: 1. Turn on the right or left turn signal; 2. Lightly press the brake to reduce speed, observe the right-side mirror, and drive to the right; 3. When the speed is low, press the clutch pedal, and pay attention to the surrounding distance when parking; 4. Once the car is completely stopped, shift to neutral, turn off the turn signal, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine.

Where to Buy Used Rims?

Cars' used rims can be purchased at professional auto repair centers or specialized modification shops, or searched for on used car trading platforms. When purchasing used rims, it's important to ensure the model matches. Below is a related introduction: Rim Introduction: The rim is the metal component inside the tire that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle, also known as the wheel. There are many types of wheels based on diameter, width, and manufacturing materials, with ordinary car wheels considering appearance less. Enamel Treatment: The heat dissipation performance of the wheel is a primary consideration for ordinary car tires, mostly using enamel treatment. Spraying first and then electric baking is cost-effective, and the wheel's color can last a long time. Electroplated wheels can be divided into types like electroplated silver, water silver, and pure electroplating, with pure electroplating maintaining color for a long time, used by most high-end car models.

Does Toyota Financial Have High Credit Requirements?

Toyota Financial has certain credit requirements, but they are not particularly strict. Typically, lending institutions decide whether to approve a loan based on the applicant's credit history. Here are the conditions that need to be met: Income must meet the standard: Generally, lending institutions require that the income of those seeking an auto loan should not be less than twice the monthly payment. If income is too low, after deducting daily expenses, there may be little left. In such cases, taking on a car loan could lead to insufficient repayment capacity, which poses a high risk of default for the lender, likely resulting in loan rejection. To avoid this, you can add a co-borrower, such as a parent, spouse, or child, but the vehicle's ownership remains solely with the primary borrower, while the co-borrower is only responsible for joint repayment. Bank statements must be acceptable: When applying for an auto loan, it is usually necessary to provide bank statements, preferably salary statements showing fixed dates and amounts for at least six consecutive months. This builds trust and goodwill with the lender, demonstrating the applicant's repayment ability. If salary statements are unavailable, self-deposited statements can be used, with similar requirements—the key is that the applicant's funds must remain in the account overnight and not be immediately withdrawn after deposit. Note that if there is a co-borrower, both parties' bank statements must be provided. Combining both statements makes it easier to meet the income requirements, significantly improving the chances of approval.

Can someone else take the penalty for a 12-point deduction due to reversing?

It is not recommended to have someone else take the penalty for a 12-point deduction due to reversing. You will need to undergo re-education to regain your driving privileges. Below are the detailed steps: 1. Relevant knowledge training: First, you must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where your driver's license was issued or where the traffic violation occurred. You will undergo a 7-day training program, with 8 hours of daily instruction on road traffic safety laws and related knowledge. 2. Subject 1 exam: After completing the 7-day training, you must retake the Subject 1 exam, which covers the same content as the test for new driver's license applicants. If you pass the Subject 1 exam, your penalty points will be cleared, and your driver's license will be returned. If you fail, you will need to repeat the training and exam. 3. Subject 3 exam: If your penalty points exceed 12 but are less than 24 within a single scoring cycle, you only need to complete the legal training and exam. However, if your penalty points reach 24 or more within a single scoring cycle, in addition to the Subject 1 training and exam, you must also retake the Subject 3 training and pass all exams before you can regain your driver's license.

Is Brake Fluid Universal?

Automotive brake fluid can also be referred to as hydraulic brake fluid. Brake fluid is not universal, and different models cannot be used interchangeably. Below is the relevant introduction: Reason: You must use brake fluid that matches the original vehicle model. This is because the working pressure of a car's braking system is generally 2MPa, and can reach as high as 4~5MPa. All liquids have the characteristic of being incompressible. In a sealed container or a pipeline filled with liquid, when the liquid is subjected to pressure, it quickly and uniformly transmits the pressure to all parts of the liquid. Characteristics of qualified brake fluid: It ensures flexible transmission of braking force under various working conditions such as high temperature, extreme cold, high speed, and humidity; It is non-corrosive to both metal and non-metal materials in the braking system; It effectively lubricates the moving parts of the braking system, extending the service life of brake calipers and rubber cups.
