What does a rear-locking differential do?
To take care of unequal torque power distribution, the selectable (manual) and automatic locking rear differentials were developed. The wheels of a car fitted with a locking differential will have the same rotational speed as they are interlinked or locked in relative motion to each other. Regardless of the traction (friction) experienced by a wheel, the rotational speed is maintained and to be the same for both. Locking rear differential offers better traction for wheels compared to the open one.
Which pair of wheelsfront wheels or rear wheels does stop when you apply handbreaks and which pair stops when you apply breaks?
On most cars the handbrake is applied to the rear wheels only. The footbrake applies to both the front and back brakes, with a bais to the front to help avoid the rear wheels locking up under heavy braking.

What is rear-wheel-only ABS?
When you have to stop suddenly, or as an emergency, It is important to keep firm and constant pressure on the brake pedal while stopping. Rear-wheel-only appears on some light trucks. It prevents the rear wheels from locking up so that the back end of the vehicle does not skid sideways. The front wheels can still lock up and the driver will lose steering control if this happens.
What would cause the rear brake to keep locking going forward it will run free for a while but gradually get tighter on a dodge neon?
It's possible that the self adjuster is installed backward.
Your rear wheels are locking up when brakes are applied?
Rear calibers or wheel cylinders are sticking. This is most often due to brake fluid that is contaminated with moisture. This moisture will cause internal parts to rust. Replace the rear calibers/wheel cylinders and replace the brake fluid with fresh fluid from an unopened can. It can also be a defective proportioning valve.

What can happen if you have two 17-inch rims and two 16-inch rims on your car?
It depends on if it ie front or rear wheel drive or 3 wheel drive. If it is 4 wheel drive, it is not good and will cause problems. If it is either front or rear wheel drive keep the wheels the same on the drive wheels ie. front wheel drive, keep the 17 or 16 inch wheels on the front but make sure they are the same.
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.
What is locking your wheels?
Can you use it in a sentence? This could have multiple meanings. Locking your wheels could mean braking so hard that the wheel stop turning even though the vehicle is still moving. e.g. skidding such as when on ice. "I stepped on the brake and my wheels locked up" Or, if this is a 4WD vehicle, it could mean engaging the front wheels so they are connected to the rest of the drive train. Older 4wd vehicles had manual dials on each front hub that you would turn to either engage - or disengage that wheel to the transmission. When disengaged - that wheel would spin free like on a 2wd vehicle. When engaged, it now receives power from the transmission same as the rear wheels. Engaging a hub in this manner is called "Locking in the hubs" or "Locking in the wheels". BTW - most modern 4WD vehicles have an automatic locking mechanism that performs this task for you when you shift into 4WD. Lastly, I suppose once could say "locking your wheels" is setting the parking brake so that the wheels cannot roll.
