Will bleeding my brakes stop them from locking up?
Bleeding your brakes can help remove air bubbles and moisture from the brake fluid, which can improve brake responsiveness and performance. However, if your brakes are locking up, it may be due to other issues such as a malfunctioning brake proportioning valve, stuck calipers, or worn brake components. While bleeding can improve overall brake function, it may not directly resolve the locking issue. It's best to diagnose the root cause of the problem for a proper solution.
What are anti-lock brakes?
a safety system which prevents the wheel on a motor vehicle from locking while braking.
Why would your car shake when you ware braking while driving?
Most of the time it is caused by the disk (rotor) being warped for previous "locking up" the brakes. If you've ever slammed on the brakes that could be the reason why. Basically it's a rotor problem most of the time.
What are anti lock brakes?

If your vehicle has an anti-locking braking system you must pump the brakes while maintaining control of the vehicle to stop.?
False. The ABS does the pumping for you while you control the vehicle to a stop.
Antilock brakes are the same as conventional brakes?
An anti-lock braking system, or ABS is a safety system which prevents the wheels on a motor vehicle from locking up (or ceasing to rotate) while braking. anti lock brakes were designed so that when you do a "panic stop" or slam on your brakes, it will control your wheels so they dont slip or loose traction.
What is controlled braking?
to reduce your speed as quickly as possible while maintaing steering control of your car. technique of applying your brakes to slow or stop quickly without locking your wheels
Why does your car knock on the left hand side?
If we are talking about while moving there is a serious problem with steering suspension or brakes.
My 2000 Jetta VR6 has started locking all doors autom. while engine is off... I thought this was not possible and VW claims it 2b a safety feature that keys cannot be locked in the car. Right?
You have a sensor in the ignition locking system that needs to be replaced. To cheeply get by the problem take out the locking relay.
What is the purpose of Anti-lock brakes?
To maintain directional control during a hard or panic stop. Think about it. If your brakes lock, you go into a skid and lose control of the car. Anti-lock brakes prevent the brakes from locking up, and throwing the vehicle into an uncontrollable skid. This system allows maximum deceleration without having the brakes lock, which, in turn, allows the driver the ability to maintain control of the vehicle while coming to the most rapid stop possible.
What does it mean when the ABS light on a 1994 Ford Explorer is coming on and staying on as well as when the brakes are applied the vehicle also feels like it wants to go?
the abs light means you have a problem in your brake system it also means get it to a shop and have it fixed before the brakes fail and you are in a wreck as for feeling like it wants to go when the brakes are applied that in itself tells you there is a problem if the brakes are inadequate while stopped, how is it going to stop you in an emergency
Why are your brakes locking on your Peugeot 106?
They aren't, however if they are locking on your 106 then the 1st thing to do is to check your tyre's have plenty of tread, and that they are good quality tyres.If the car has ABS there is a bigger problem.If its the rear locking up before the front it may be due to the brake bias valve needing adjusting.Of course your brakes will lock on ice or other slippery surfaces, so dont brake hard and gradually increase the braking force.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Having too much pressure (air) in your tyres can also be a cause, as there will be less of the tyre in contact with the road.If the brakes are locking when the car has been parked for a while, it is usually the rear brakes sticking. This can be resolved by rocking it backwards and forwards, either manually or by using first and reverse gears.I have also known the friction linings to come off the the rear brake shoes and jam/lock the rear wheels. This requires the rear wheels and brake drums to be removed and new brake shoes fitted.
