What is the approximate brake force distribution between the front brakes and the rear?

The brake force distribution of a vehicle is set up entirely on how the vehicle is desired to act and how one would like it to handle.
If you wish for the car to turn in better than you can alter the brake bias appropriately.
The main reason for brake bias being set up unequally between front and rear axles is to prevent rear wheel lock up. As you put in high braking force the load transfers to the front of the vehicle, with the reduced normal force (downwards force) acting on the rear axle the load is lighter which will lower the point at which the wheels lock up. To prevent rear wheel lock up and to optimise max braking force cars often have a fixed bias between front or rear to begin with or use Electronic Brake Distribution which through use of hydraulic valves can redirect braking force appropriately.

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
Where is the distribution valve for brakes?
It can be attached to the bottom of the master cylinder or on the drivers side frame between the firewall and the radiator. Follow the brake lines coming out of the master cylinder.
What is the difference between a brake booster and power brakes?
The brake booster is part of the power brake system.
Which brake fluid reservoir on 1998 Chevy S10 connects to back brakes?
The brake cylinder connects to both front and rear brake systems. The front and rear brakes are connected though a diagonal fluid distribution system. any more questions email me at philip.dharamraj@hotmail.com
What the different between the servo brake and non-servo brake?
why are air brakes considered non-servo
What sort of energy do the brakes produce when the car is in motion?
When the brakes are applied, the car's kinetic energy is converted to heat by friction between the brake pad and the brake disk.
What are the differences between brakes and rotors?
There is no difference between brakes and rotors because the rotor is just one of the many parts that make up a brake. The function of a brake rotor is to stop the wheels from spinning. The rotor is what the brake clamps hold on to stop the car.
What's the difference between a brake and disc brake service?
Disk brakes use a flat disk rotor while drum brakes use a wide cylinder that is open in the back. Both types of brakes cost about the same. The average cost to replace brake pads is between $90-$150 depending upon where you go.
What is a Dual proportioning valve?
It is a valve in the brake lines going to the rear of the vehicle. It adjust the amount of fluid flow to the rear brakes depending on the height of the rear suspension. The lower the suspension, the more weight in the vehicle, the more rear braking power is needed.
What does brake?
A brake system brakes.
Can you replace pad brakes with disc brakes?
pad brakes are disc brakes, it's known as changing brake pads for disc setup and changing brake shoes with drum brake setup.
What is the brake pedal reserve distance?
It is the distance between floorboard and pedal top, when the brake pedal is fully depressed (after applying brakes).
