What Causes the Steering Wheel Noise in the 2021 Corolla?

Specific causes of steering wheel noise in the 2021 Corolla include a faulty clock spring, insufficient lubrication in the shock absorber top bearing, loose stabilizer bar bushings, and dirty power steering fluid. The clock spring is a wiring harness that rotates with the steering wheel. If it becomes entangled, it can cause noise when turning the wheel. Since this involves the airbag system, it must be inspected and adjusted by a professional. The shock absorber top bearing, also known as the thrust bearing, is commonly used in MacPherson strut suspensions. Its main functions are shock absorption and acting as a movable link for the vehicle body to prevent direct friction. If the bearing is damaged, it can cause noise and vibration when turning the wheel while stationary. Applying grease can solve this issue. If the noise is not from the shock absorber top bearing, check for loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings. Loose or damaged bushings can cause noise not only when turning the wheel but also when driving on uneven roads. Adding shims can fix loose stabilizer bar bushings. Dirty power steering fluid increases pressure in the power steering system, leading to noise when turning the wheel. Regularly check the quality of the power steering fluid and replace it when necessary.

Where is the car antifreeze added?

Car antifreeze is added to the antifreeze reservoir, which is located in the engine compartment. Generally, antifreeze is added to the car's coolant reservoir. Antifreeze is usually colored (red or green) for easy identification. Antifreeze is the circulating cooling medium in the engine cooling system. Antifreeze has two characteristics: low freezing point and high boiling point. Therefore, it not only ensures the normal operation of the car's cooling system in winter but also prevents the coolant from boiling in summer, avoiding overheating. Additionally, antifreeze usually has anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties.

Do I need to submit the old license when renewing my driver's license on 12123?

License renewal: After the one-year probationary period, you need to go to the local vehicle management office where the license was issued to renew it, but any violations must be handled first. After 6 years, you must go to the issuing vehicle management office to renew the license again. This requires a medical examination at a hospital, and then bringing the license, ID card, and three 1-inch color photos to the vehicle management office to fill out an application form. 3. Points cycle: The points cycle for a driver's license is one year from the date of issuance. If a C1 license does not accumulate 12 points within this year and all violations are handled and fines paid before the start of the next cycle, the points will be reset to 12 at the beginning of the next cycle.
