they drag or require force to rotate

Once i have tried to drag it didnt move but i havent applied force to move.

Drive few kilometers and check all rim temperature. Jammed wheel will be hotter than others and also car pulls that side if wheel is dragging or jammed.
Slightly grease all caliper pins and hopefully sudden braking issue will be resolved.

Update!! Done with brakes work today and Alhumdulillah!! satisfied now. Thanks for your all comments. So i went to mechanic and tell him that I have faced this issue of car getting slide on the one side with emergency braking with 50km/hr speed. He said leme open it and see. Found all four wheels caliper pins rubbers/ bushes were worn out badly. right side wheel piston was fully jammed, pins were not freely moving. Check for arm control bush etc. Brake pads were ok, so didnt change them for now. brake fluid was ok as well. Got new all rubbers/bushes for caliper pins. fixed jammed right wheel piston and almost all pins. make sure all pistons are working fine. pins got greased. And after this work, i have solved two problems now.

1. Brakes are fine,MA car is no more moving to the left side now. tried braking even hands off from steering wheel. Not moving anywhere.
2. In D or R mode when brakes were applied, car was vibrating too much. And in N and P mode it wasnt, And i was having the thought of there is some issue with the transmission mount or what you say in simple words, foundation. issue. and now car shaking in D or R mode with applied brakes are gone.

I guess I had good three hours today in the workshop in this cold rainy day.

950rs for seals kit and 600rs labour cost. I have found my car has Asuki brake pads. Does anyone know about them?

NOw next work is with the fuel mileage, Keeping an eye on fuel average. If not getting any better then will get a new injectors. Mechanic said you can clean your current injectors if you want but the cleaning cost and the cost of new injectors are almost the same. So better get new ones. but for now I am ok with the current situation. Will see later about injectors.

I've used asuki, in many cars and haven't got impressive results, people just get biased in comparison to oem ones, they say o yar kuch nai awein itne mehngay hain mein to asuki use karha hun. So basically oem one's have a really good braking, plus they make your rotors super shiny. This analysis which I'm sharing is for all brands..
Now I own a nissan b14 and sadly we don't have oem ones for it anymore, nissan n16 has it. So all older models we are using mk sadly and it's one of the shty brake pad... My liana was on mk its 1.8A/t brake pads used to go down in like 10-12k km and rotors weren't shiny either.. When I shifted to oem Suzuki, that day and today felt a very huge difference in brakes engagement & rotors are always super shiny, they've a good life, like they get bad around 30-40k km

How much the new injectors cost?

[waqar19]

Asuki pads are low quality and don't bear high temperatures during excessive braking. They will become hard and damage the rotor. Even MK brake pads are better than Asuki.
Always use OEM brake pads.

[waqar19]

Around 2500 PKR for used. Don't know about brand new.

YA true. actually i didint buy them, it was already there when i have bough this car. First i thought its sml brakepads, but i was wrong. yesterday hen mechanic open the brake pads, then i came to know which pads they are.

One thing is for sure, "dunia idar ki udar ho jae" OEM or original things are always original.

Btw my rotors are always shiny. Idk whats the pros or cons of shiny rotors

Well I went to the two shops the one guy said these are oem toyota brakes, and it has a cut diagonally, then i went to the other shop he has shown me toyota brake pads and it has a cut from the middle. I asked them I have seen the other toyota brake pads for corolla 2004 and it has diagonal cut. the guy replied, that pads are not for corolla. that pads are for premio. khair anyways before i go to the mechanic i do visit spare parts shops in case the mechanic ask me to bring me something so that i know where i can find the better things and also i estimate the cost. both shops said 6500rs for toyota brake pads.

[def3nder]

Yes its around 2500 to 3000. i have seen mnay people using liana injectors in there indus corolla for better fuel average and it cost 1800rs.

Irregular rotor surface causes vibration in brake pedal while applying brake. Damages the brake pads as well. Shiny rotor means smooth brake performance.

Yesterday, when i went to the workshop and it was raining, The workshop area was full of muddy water and the car lower area, tires and mudguards was full of wet mud. I dont like taking the dirty car out on the road even if the weather is bad. It was raining today as well but i didnt like to drive a car with all that dirt. so i wash it.

Anyways, I just want to share a little experiment that I have done two or three weeks ago after washing a car. I waxed one half of the roof and left the other half without applying wax. After that, today was the second wash and i noticed the difference between the waxed and without the waxed part of the roof. When pour water on the roof.

Left half with wax applied and right half without wax applied. It was "Shinex". Its finished and now i have got "Formula one premium paste wax"

[sameerulhaq064]

Get Haris paste wax. It's quite good.

[def3nder]

Haris paste wax.

harris and formula one both has same box and evn font writing, now Wallah which one is original

[sameerulhaq064]

WTH! I thought I bought something decent for once

[mohsin-212]

Farq tu parhta hai buhat wax krnay say

[def3nder]

kitney ki li ?

[def3nder]

ya it does

[sameerulhaq064]

700 ya 800 ki. But it's been 6 weeks and the wax is going strong

[def3nder]

havent applied this formula one wax yet so cantt say anything. I got it for 1100 after bargain.
