Front wheel brakes are generally effective in most conditions, providing good stopping power and control. However, in certain situations such as wet or slippery road conditions, front wheel brakes may not perform as well as other types of brakes like all-wheel or four-wheel brakes, which distribute braking power more evenly across all wheels.

Are front wheel brakes good in all conditions, or are there specific situations where they may not perform as well as other types of brakes?

Front wheel brakes are generally effective in most conditions, but they may not perform as well as other types of brakes in wet or slippery conditions due to the risk of wheel lock-up.

Does the escort lx have front and back brakes or just front brakes?

Why do rear brakes brake first?

All four brakes should engage at the same time. You probably need to bleed your front brakes. If road conditions are wet or you haven't driven the car in a while, drum brakes sometimes "grab". Many cars have rear drum brakes and front disc, this could be what you're expieriencing.


Do rear brakes wear faster than front brakes?

No, rear brakes do not typically wear faster than front brakes. In most vehicles, front brakes wear out faster due to the weight transfer during braking, which puts more stress on the front brakes.


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.

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.


Do front or rear brakes have more stopping power?

Front brakes have significantly more stopping power than rear brakes.
