Why does the parking brake use a mechanical linkage instead of a fluid linkage?
The parking brake uses a mechanical linkage instead of a fluid linkage primarily for reliability and simplicity. Mechanical linkages provide a direct connection between the brake lever and the brake mechanism, ensuring immediate response and consistent performance without the risk of fluid leaks or pressure loss. Additionally, mechanical systems are easier to diagnose and repair, making them more practical for a safety-critical system like the parking brake.
1999 dodge ram 2500 V10 4x4 your brakes leaking fom the rear it goes from the axle to frame by the shock looks like a distribution valve what is it?
Height sensing proportioning valve.
Car will shift but not move?
It sounds like you are having problems with the transmission's valve body or your brakes are locked up. This problem is common on Chevy 350 turbo transmissions. Inside of the transmissions oil pan there is a valve near the edge of the case that has a S-shaped linkage. This S-shaped linkage can slip off the valve it controls and the transmission will feel like it goes into gear but not move the vehicle.
Why does the parking brake use mechanical linkage instead of a fluid linkage?
The parking brake typically uses mechanical linkage instead of fluid linkage for several reasons. Mechanical systems offer more direct control and immediate response, which is crucial for securing a vehicle when parked. They are also simpler and more reliable, as they are less susceptible to issues like fluid leaks or pressure loss. Additionally, mechanical systems can be easier to maintain and repair compared to hydraulic systems.
You come to a stop and where you start to go the car make a noise and acts like to emergency brake is on?
Sounds like the porselin Valve!!!!
Why would the brake pedal not want to depress on my 93 Beretta and not brake You can slam on the brake pedal 3-4 times then it will work but the pedal seems to go to the floor?
dude! sounds like air brake sys.(system needs to be bled get air out of sys.)As for gettin stuck , check linkage,brake booster and master cyl.
What does air in brake line do to the brakes?
The air in an air brake system is the "fluid" to activate the brake, much like brake fluid activates the brakes in your car. One difference is that you are not pushing air down the lines when you step on the brake pedal, instead you are releasing a metered amount of air, or "application pressure" from the reservoir, through the treadle valve (brake pedal/valve) to the brake chambers, to apply the brakes. Air also releases the parking brake, as the parking brake is always in the on mode, until you push a valve on the dashboard, sending compressed air to the parking brake chambers, releasing them. The parking brakes are spring powered, and the air over rides these springs.
What is wrong with the brake of 1992 Van Ram 250 it seems like it won't stop when you step on the brake?
Could be worn or glazed brake pads. Can also be a defective master cylinder, bad proportioning valve, or a brake booster with a vacuum leak.
What does a brake proportioning valve look like?
A brake proportioning valve typically has a compact, cylindrical shape and is usually made of metal or durable plastic. It often features threaded ports for brake line connections and may include an adjustable knob or lever for tuning the brake balance. The valve is usually mounted on the vehicle's chassis, often near the master cylinder or rear axle. Its surface may have markings or labels indicating the input and output ports.
What could cause your 1990 Nissan Sentra to stutter with your foot on the brake and shut off when you shift into drive?
Sounds like your problem is the brake booster valve ...... When the valve goes bad it takes the vacuum away from the motor, and when you apply the brake the motor will stutter and when you pull it into gear it will usually kill the motor unless you are giving it a little more gas than you normally would to keep the motor running. The little valve is located at the booster...it will have a small vacuum hose that comes from the motor to the brake booster valve. The valve just pops into the booster, and can be found at some auto parts store.
Your left hand front brake line have no pressure when brakes are applied?
modern cars have a brake pressure equalizer on them. sounds like this valve is not working correctly.could also be a bad caliper on that wheel
How do you bleed hydraulic clutch on 1993 ford escort lx?
Hydraulic clutches use a slave cylinder mounted at / on the transmission to operate the clutch lever. It has a bleeder valve much like a brake wheel cylinder or brake caliper. It typically shares the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. Use penetrant to minimize the risk of shearing the bleeder valve. Once the valve is working, use the same sequnce to bleed as for brakes. Depress the clutch, open the valve, close the valve, release the clutch, repeat till clear fluid (no old fluid which is YELLOw) and no air, flows. REFILL THE RESERVOIR as needed.
