Master cylinder.
either you have lost your brake fluid through a leak or you need a new brake master cylinder (the type of master cylinder varies according to if you have anti-lock brakes on all wheels, just the back, or not at all)
When parking uphill with a curb, turn your wheels away from the curb and set the parking brake. When parking uphill without a curb, turn your wheels towards the edge of the road or shoulder and use the parking brake. When parking downhill with a curb, turn your wheels towards the curb and use the parking brake. When parking downhill without a curb, turn your wheels towards the edge of the road or shoulder and use the parking brake.
The actual brake will almost always be on the rear wheels. The lever will usually be in the center console, maybe shifted towards the driver's side.
You have a leak in the brake system, need to check the medal brake lines that run through the frame rail and goes to the back wheels, It is common for those to rust into towards the back. If lines are okay then check the wheel cylinders. If you are not low on brake fluid then you probley have a bad master cylinder.
You need to either update the transmission or replace the brake pads or replace the wheels on the vehicle
Wheels toward the curb. What is a Kerb?^^^You aim the wheels toward the curb so that if your parking brake fails, the vehicle won't roll into traffic. It will roll into the curb and be stopped
towards the curb. The idea is that if the hand brake fails the car will roll to the curb and stop.
No, 2007 wheels will not fit properly on a 2002. The offset is different, while the bolt pattern is the same, 2007 wheels will be sunken in towards the car and will rub against suspension/brake components. It is possible to make it work with spacers, but not recommended.
stops the wheels
if brake pedal is soft , either there is air in the system ,a brake fluid leak, or brake linings and pads are worn allowing the pedal to travel to far if there is a fluid leak, this can usually be found by getting under vehicle and looking at inside of wheels for brake fluid
First the driver puts pressure in the foot brake, which then pushes a small piston, the piston then exerts pressure in the brake fluid. Then the increased pressure is transmitted through the fluid in the brake lines to a larger piston within the wheels of the car. Each piston pushes in a brake pad which the rubs against the brake disc, and the wheels motion is slowed down by the force of friction.
Bad wheel bearing? Worn brake pads?
