   • Your Brake Pedal Feels Soft or Weak. Your brake pedal should have a firm feel when you press on it. It should move freely as you move it from its resting position, and as the brakes are applied the pedal should become firmer with more pedal use.
   • Your Brake Pedal Feels Solid as a Rock. As frustrating as a soft pedal is, a hard pedal can be equally appalling as you try to stop your car with no luck.
   • Your Brakes Fail to Disengage. With a hard and soft pedal feel, your brakes still disengage after you apply the brakes. What happens if the brakes won’t let go?
   • Your Brakes Squeal or Howl When You Step on The Pedal. Your brakes shouldn’t make any significant noise when applied, but when they start talking you need to listen.

   • Brake hydraulics. A hydraulic brake circuit has fluid-filled master and slave cylinders connected by pipes. Master and slave cylinders. When you push the brake pedal it depresses a piston in the master cylinder , forcing fluid along the pipe.
   • Power-assisted brakes. Many cars also have power assistance to reduce the effort needed to apply the brakes. Usually the source of power is the pressure difference between the partial vacuum in the inlet manifold and the outside air.
   • Disc brakes. Disc brake. A disc brake has a disc that turns with the wheel. The disc is straddled by a caliper , in which there are small hydraulic pistons worked by pressure from the master cylinder.
   • Drum brakes. Drum brake. A drum brake has a hollow drum that turns with the wheel. Its open back is covered by a stationary backplate on which there are two curved shoes carrying friction linings.

   What are the components of a brake system?

   • Brake discs - Metal discs that rotate along with the wheel. Brake pads - Pads on either side of the brake discs that cause friction when the brake pedal’s pressed. Brake calipers - Contain the piston and brake pads. They clamp onto the disc when braking. Brake lines - Transport brake fluid through the braking system.

   What type of brake system does a car have?

   • A vehicle will have either a disc brakes or drum brakes to create the necessary friction for this to take place. Modern car brake systems are referred to as power brake systems. These systems use a brake booster that amplifies the force you apply to the brake pedal. This makes braking so much easier for drivers.

   How do disc brakes work?

   • Most cars will have disc brakes on their front wheels and either disc or drum brakes on their back wheels. With disc brakes, when you press the brake pedal, the hydraulic brake fluid makes the brake caliper push the brake pad against the brake disc. As the brake pad rubs against the brake disc, the friction slows down the wheels.

   Which brakes are used on all 4 wheels?

   • Cheaper drum brakes are often used on the rear wheels as parking brakes. Larger or more powerful cars tend to have disc brakes on all 4 wheels. A car’s handbrake activates a cable which squeezes the rear brake pads closed and stops the car moving. Some cars have separate discs and pads specifically for the handbrake.

   What is a disc brake system?

   • A disc brake system is just what the name implies; there's a disc (rotor) that spins with the wheel and a clamping device (caliper) that grabs the rotor creating friction which slows the car (hopefully). Having higher performance brakes will allow you to drive deeper into the corners before having to brake.
