If it is still on the brake fluid it left the factory with, might want to start by changing that. Nothing wrong with factory stuff, just 5-6 years will allow it to absorb water. Brake pads are another item to look at. Some pads are better than others, depends on what your after out of them. Since you just want to drive on the road and have something cheap, go with Toyota pads.

they recommend that brake fluid is changed every 2 years regardless of kms but if its due for an 80k service they should change the fluid as part of the service you may have to check with the place your having the service done to confirm that theyre actually going to change it for you.

on another note i drove a 2002 wagon a few weeks back and getting out of my car and basically straight into the wagon i could tell there was a significant difference in braking i felt i had to apply alot more effort to get it to stop maybe thats just the way they are

Gday mate

I am a 3rd year appretice machanic and i have been working at toyota the whole time and i relized over time that camry have a harder breaking force dont no why they just do. It could be to do with the calipers being a bit bigger and it is a bigger car so it needs all the break force possible, and as reqiured in the service manual yes it is every 2 years brake fluid change or every 40k service so it should be getting replaced when you bring your car in.

Unless your corolla is a south african corolla than that a whole another story. Now with them not including tivo's cause they have a different setup but if it is a corolla ascent made in south africa. There breaks are made very bad and have been assembles very bad in the factory and there is nothing you can really do about it. The roters, break pads, calipers and break boster are all made **** on that make.

But anyway best of luck.

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.

      Brake issues with 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid

      Hi all, trying to get some opinion/feedback on what I recently observed on my Corolla Cross. It happened on the last two trips where the car made noise, I feel some vibration/rattling when I was braking. It lasts for 1 or 2 seconds. I kind of felt the tires skid but I am not sure if that's what actually happened. And I, again kind of, felt that it was the right side tires. Or at least the noise coming from the right side. But it could be just because I was driving and obviously sit on the right side of the car. In those 2 trips, it happened in 4 occasions. And it wasn't abrupt or hard braking, just normal slowing down. I wonder if this is a known issues ... or if anyone with the same car experience the same or similar issues. Thank you.
