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.

When the brakes are applied so hard that the front or rear wheels lose traction?
When brakes are applied too forcefully, causing the front or rear wheels to lose traction, the vehicle may experience skidding or sliding. This loss of traction can lead to reduced control and an increased risk of accidents. To regain control, drivers should ease off the brakes and steer in the direction they want to go, allowing the tires to regain grip on the road. Proper braking techniques and maintaining a safe following distance can help prevent this situation.
What kind of skid occurs when the brakes are applied so hard that the front or rear wheels lose traction?
For rear drive cars - it's called a fishtail. You brakes work better on the front. Anybody who sailed over the handlebars when braking just the front wheel on a bike is called a head plant, (ouch)
Which skids occur when the brakes are applied so hard that the front or rear wheels lose traction?
When brakes are applied too forcefully, skids can occur, leading to either front-wheel skids or rear-wheel skids. A front-wheel skid happens when the front tires lose traction, causing the vehicle to continue moving forward despite steering input. Conversely, a rear-wheel skid occurs when the rear tires lose traction, resulting in the back of the vehicle sliding out. Both types of skids can lead to loss of control and require careful steering and throttle management to regain traction.

How difficult is it to change emergency brakes to front wheels?
There are no emergency brakes on the front wheels of vehicles.
What is the advantage of rolling wheels over sliding wheels in an emergency?
Rolling wheels have more traction than sliding wheels. Thus you have more control. To illustrate; If you were in a turn and either locked the brakes or accelerated too fast the rear wheels loose traction and the rear of the car starts to pass the front of the car.
2002 Alero front wheels make bumping noise when brakes are applied?
Probably scoured or warped rotors.
Why are the rear wheels in trucks broader than the front wheels?

What is the difference between front and rear wheel drive?
In front wheel drive the traction comes from the front wheels while in rear wheel drive traction power comes from the rear wheels.
Why are the rear wheels of a truck more broaden as compared to front wheels?
They are broader for better traction.
