What Causes the Vehicle to Pull to One Side When Braking?

The reason for the vehicle pulling to one side when braking is: uneven braking force between the left and right sides. When this occurs, it is necessary to visit a professional institution for adjustment. The braking system of a car is extremely important as it directly affects the vehicle's driving safety and stability. The braking system mainly consists of a vacuum booster pump, master brake cylinder, brake caliper, brake pads, and brake discs. Below are the maintenance methods for the braking system: 1. Use a professional brake disc cleaner. Before use, shake the liquid in the can thoroughly, then spray it directly onto the area to be cleaned until dust and oil stains are completely removed. Wipe clean with a clean towel, leaving no dust or residue. 2. Use a professional brake caliper guide pin lubricant. Wear a single-finger glove and apply the product evenly on the surface of the brake caliper guide pin and inside the guide pin groove. Do not mix with other mineral lubricating oils. 3. Use a professional high-temperature resistant brake pad protector. Wear a single-finger glove and apply the product evenly on the back of the brake pads and inside the sliding grooves at both ends of the brake pads. 4. Use a professional high-temperature anti-seize lubricant. Wear a single-finger glove and apply the product evenly on each tire bolt and the metal contact surface between the wheel rim and the hub.

The most common reason for the car pulling to one side when braking is uneven tire pressure on both sides. Uneven tire pressure causes the car to veer towards the side with lower pressure during braking due to reduced friction. I remember once my car had this issue, and after checking, I found the left front tire was significantly underinflated. Topping it up fixed the problem. Uneven tire tread wear can also cause pulling—if one tire is worn out while the other side is fine, the car will deviate when braking. I make it a habit to check all tire pressures monthly with a simple gauge to keep them consistent. Ignoring this can lead to suspension system issues over time, costing more in the long run. Pay extra attention to this when driving on bumpy roads—safety first. Regular maintenance prevents major problems, so don't wait until it's too late to regret.

What color is the light of the reverse light?

The light of the reverse light is white. The reverse light is installed at the rear of the vehicle to illuminate the road behind and to warn vehicles and pedestrians behind that the car is reversing. All reverse lights are white. The rear lights of a car include: turn signals, brake lights, position lights, rear fog lights, reverse lights, and parking lights. The light covers are composed of three colors: red, yellow, and white. The parking lights, brake lights, and position lights have red covers that emit red light, the fog lights have white covers that emit yellow light, and the reverse lights have yellow covers that emit yellow light. Considering the wavelength penetration of light, car lights generally come in three colors: yellow, red, and white. White lights are used where better illumination is needed, such as reverse lights and license plate-related lights. Turn signals use more noticeable yellow or red lights. Lights that need to be conspicuous and serve as warnings include: brake lights, high-mounted brake lights, nighttime lights, and width indicator lights.

How Does a Car Differential Work?

How a car differential works: 1. Power input of the differential: The driven gear rotates the differential housing; 2. Power output of the differential: Two side gears, connected to the drive shafts on both sides, transmit power to the wheels on both sides; 3. Rotation of the planetary gears: Refers to the planetary gears rotating around the planetary gear shafts; 4. Revolution of the planetary gears: Refers to the planetary gears rotating around the axis of the side gears. The car differential enables the left and right drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It mainly consists of left and right side gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. Its function is to allow the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds when the car is turning or driving on uneven roads, ensuring that both drive wheels perform pure rolling motion.

Why is there no response when pressing the car key even though it has power?

If the car key has power but doesn't respond when pressed, it may be due to interference nearby. Car remote keys transmit signals via radio waves, and signal reception can be affected when these waves are disrupted. The greatest advantage of remote keys is that, regardless of day or night, they allow for convenient long-distance locking and unlocking without the need to locate the keyhole. The remote key emits a weak radio wave from the owner's vicinity, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator performs the locking or unlocking action. Modern car keys use a magnetic chip system. If the circuit board of the remote key malfunctions, it's akin to losing the coded key, rendering the key unresponsive when pressed. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the key with a new one.

How to Remove the Wiper Plug?

Method to remove the wiper plug: 1. Lift the wiper, press the square button on the wiper, and then detach the wiper from the metal swing arm; 2. Cover or wrap the wiper swing arm with soft cloth to avoid damaging the glass surface, then gently return it to the windshield; 3. Thoroughly clean the wiper once, wipe it clean, and store it properly; 4. Take out the purchased wiper rubber strip from the packaging and soak it in soapy water to lubricate it for easier installation; 5. Take the original wiper, pinch one side of the wiper rubber strip with your fingers, and pull it back and forth forcefully. You will find that one side can be pulled, while the other side cannot; 6. Locate the side that cannot be pulled, use a thin flat-head screwdriver to pry open the plastic plug on this side of the wiper, and then you can disassemble it.

Why is the car not spraying windshield washer fluid?

If the car is not spraying windshield washer fluid, the first consideration is insufficient washer fluid. You can check the fluid level through the dashboard or by directly opening the engine compartment. Other possible causes include clogged nozzles, freezing, or a damaged motor. In daily use, avoid using tap water as a substitute for dedicated windshield washer fluid. Tap water contains many impurities, which can clog the nozzles over time, and its cleaning effect is generally poor. Windshield washer fluid, commonly known as car windshield cleaning fluid, is a consumable in car use. High-quality windshield washer fluid is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. When the transparency of the front windshield decreases, spraying some washer fluid can restore a clear and bright view.

How to Read the Fuel Gauge in a Corolla?

Corolla's fuel gauge is located on the far right of the dashboard, with 'F' and 'E' markings on it. If the needle points to 'F', it indicates the fuel tank is full. If it points to 'E', it means the fuel tank is nearly empty. It's important to note that when the fuel warning light comes on, it's still safe to drive within 20 kilometers. Beyond this range, caution is advised, and it's best to refuel at a gas station as soon as possible. However, the exact driving distance may vary depending on the driver's habits. The Corolla is a brand under Toyota, with body dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
