During normal driving, spring brakes are typically held back by air pressure in the brake system. This pressure keeps the brake chambers compressed, preventing the springs from engaging the brakes. If the air pressure drops below a certain level, the springs will automatically engage, applying the brakes to prevent the vehicle from moving.

Is brake fade a temporary condition?
Yes, brake fade is typically a temporary condition that occurs when brakes overheat due to prolonged use, leading to reduced friction and effectiveness. This can happen during heavy braking, such as when driving downhill or during aggressive driving. Once the brakes cool down, their performance generally returns to normal. However, if brake fade is experienced frequently, it may indicate a need for maintenance or upgrades to the braking system.
Is it normal to have disc and wheel nuts hot after driving?
Yes, it's normal for disc brakes and wheel nuts to become hot after driving, especially after heavy braking or during prolonged use. The heat generated is a result of friction between the brake pads and discs, as well as the wheel nuts being affected by the heat from the brakes and the wheel itself. However, if they are excessively hot or if there are signs of damage or unusual wear, it may indicate a problem that should be inspected. Regular maintenance and checks can help ensure everything is functioning properly.

How long should brake shoes last?

Drum brakes are generally less efficient than disc brakes but can still perform well under normal driving conditions.
