When disc brakes are applied, a caliper squeezes the brake pads against the disc and the wheel slows. When drum brakes are applied, curved shoes located inside the drum are pushed outwards, rubbing against the inside of the drum and slowing the wheel.

If the rear look like the front, then they are also disc brakes. However if the rear look much different, then chances are they are drum.

How do disc brakes work?
Most modern cars have disc brakes on the front wheels, and some have disc brakes on all four wheels. This is the part of the brake system that does the actual work of stopping the car.The disc brake is a lot like the brakes on a bicycle. Bicycle brakes have a caliper, which squeezes the brake pads against the wheel. In a disc brake, the brake pads squeeze the rotor instead of the wheel, and the force is transmitted hydraulically instead of through a cable. Friction between the pads and the disc slows the disc down.Vented disc brakes have a set of vanes, between the two sides of the disc, that pumps air through the disc to provide cooling.
