What is the difference between primary brakes and the secondary brakes?
Primary brakes are situated at the front wheels and provide about 70% of a vehicle's braking power. Your secondary brakes are located at the rear wheels and only provide about 30% of a vehicle's braking power.
How difficult is it to change emergency brakes to front wheels?

Why do you need front brakes?
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.
What type of brakes are on a 2002 Saturn L200?
The 2002 Saturn L200 is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. The front brakes are ventilated disc brakes, which help with heat dissipation during braking. The rear brakes are solid disc brakes. This combination provides effective stopping power and handling for the vehicle.

How should a driver position the front wheels when parking uphill with a curb?
When parking uphill with a curb, a driver should turn the front wheels away from the curb and towards the road. This helps prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brakes fail.
Why aren't hydraulic brakes used for rear wheels when the same is used for the front wheels?
All modern mass-produced cars and light trucks DO have hydraulic brakes on the front and the rear wheels. Heavy trucks generally have air brakes on all the wheels. Maybe you are thinking of cars that have disk brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear? On cars, these are both hydraulically operated using the same hydraulic (brake) fluid. In normal stopping situations, the front brakes do more work than the rear brakes. Maybe 70 or 80% of the braking is done by the front wheels (it depends on where the weight is in the car and how fast you stop). Disk brakes are a somewhat better brake for a car, but drum brakes are a little cheaper to manufacture. So, disk brakes are almost always used on the front wheels where the braking is more important. Drum brakes are used on the back of some cars to save money. Note that performance cars (sports cars) almost always have disk brakes on all of the wheels.
How many brake pads does a car have?
Depends on the vehicle. Each wheel has an inner and outer pad. So if it has front disk brakes, 4 in total. If the vehicle has rear disk brakes also, another 4 pads for the rear wheels
What types of skid occur when the brakes are applied so hard that the front or rear wheels lose traction?
When brakes are applied too hard and wheels lose traction, two main types of skids can occur: front-wheel skid and rear-wheel skid. A front-wheel skid happens when the front wheels lose grip, causing the vehicle to slide straight ahead, often leading to understeering. In contrast, a rear-wheel skid occurs when the rear wheels lose traction, resulting in oversteering, where the rear of the vehicle swings out. Both types can compromise vehicle control and increase the risk of accidents.
Is the parking brake in the front brakes or back brakes on a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron?
