Stepping on the brake pedal is an action we often take without thinking about it. However, the braking process is made up of many steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens is determined by the type of brakes a vehicle uses \u2013 disc brakes or drum brakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the braking system<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we step on the brake pedal, a rod presses into the master cylinder. The result is pressurized brake fluid, which moves down the brake lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On disc brakes, the fluid goes through the brake hoses and to the brake calipers, which are prompted to press the brake pads and rotors together. The friction that\u2019s produced causes the car to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drum brakes, on the other hand, have brake hoses that link brake lines with a combination valve and wheel cylinders. The brake fluid encourages the wheel cylinder pistons to go out. This draws the brake shoes against the drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common brake wear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brake wear is bound to happen as your vehicle ages. Eventually, brake repair is needed or braking system components must be replaced. These parts include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
