What causes brakes to lock up during moderate braking?
AaronWilbourngp8724
Caliber is sticking. More than likely the brake fluid is contaminated with moisture which has caused the brake caliber to rust. I would recommend you have your brakes inspected and replace any caliber that is sticking. Also have the brake fluid changed immediately.

During moderate braking What is the approximate brake force distribution between the front brakes and rear brakes?
I beleave it's Front 60% and Rear 40% that is distributed between them both
Why does your Pontiac Grand Prix vibrate when braking?
Could be a worn wheel bearing, a warped rotor, worn pads, or just some kind of oil on the rotor causing slippage. If it is a newer car it is equipped with abs and anti lock brakes and during a moderate hard stop the brakes will pulse which can feel like vibration.
Why do brakes become hot if driving in city traffic?
The brake discs get hot with frequent braking during traffic.
Why disc brake is better than drum brake?
because disc brakes provide more uniform torque throughout than drum brakes during braking..
Are rear drum brakes used during normal braking?
Certainly, all four wheel brakes are used in normal stopping. However, the lions share of the stopping power is from the front brakes, yes.
What is the ABS system in a car?
Anti lock brakes. The system uses a computer, valves, and speed sensors to control wheel lock up during hard braking.Anti lock brakes. The system uses a computer, valves, and speed sensors to control wheel lock up during hard braking.
Why does car steer to the right during braking?
The wheels may not be aligned correctly, the tyres may not be correctly inflated or the right size, the brakes may be applying themselves unevenly. There are many causes, the problem should be diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible.
Is there a pressure valve somewhere for rear drum brakes on a 1997 dodge stratus?
There is a "proportioning valve" that relieves some pressure during heavy braking.
Does the Prius use regenerative breaking?
Yes. Energy generated during regenerative braking recharges the traction battery and is later used to power the car. The Prius also has friction brakes (disk/drum), which are used at very low speeds or for hard braking. And it's braking, not breaking.
Why do your brakes squeal during rain?
I wonder if it is because the Prius' regenerative braking system slows the car which means the brake pads are used less than a normal car.
Why does the abs engage during normal braking?
There is a problem with you ABS and the computer is telling you, you need it checked by a service technician. If not your brakes may fail. Advise you do this soon Good Luck.
What are the function of anti-lock brakes?
anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface.
