What is the advantages and disadvantages of disc brake with drum brake?
It depends on the vehicle and how hard you'll be braking! Basically drum brakes are quite old fashioned and can 'lock' under hard braking or if they get wet. This can cause the wheel in question to skid! Most new vehicles these days unless they are very cheap (usually motorbikes) come with disk brakes. They won't lock if they get wet or under hard braking. Also disk brakes can have an extra feature called ABS - or Anti-lock Braking System - what this means is that when you press the brake pedal the brakes automatically turn on and off a hundred times a second or so - actually allowing you to steer. Very good. Nearly all cars and many motorbikes come with this feature as standard or an option.
Do disc brakes fade more than drum brakes?
Disc brakes generally experience less fade than drum brakes under heavy use. This is because disc brakes have better heat dissipation due to their exposed design, allowing them to cool more effectively. In contrast, drum brakes can trap heat, leading to increased brake fluid temperatures and reduced braking performance. Overall, disc brakes are typically more reliable in preventing fade during prolonged braking situations.
If the front end of your car is shaking when you stop does that mean you need a new transmission?
My first guess would be the front end alignment and possibly the brakes. During braking, you engine and transmission are not under a load so they should not cause any vibration.
Why do the brakes lock on a lightly loaded truck with a particular brake pressure than a heavier one?
The brakes are designed to handle that truck at the loaded weight - when under that weight, a bit more finesse needs to be used when braking.
Squealing under the hood?
Tighten the belts
What could cause a squealing noise in your 1994 GEO Tracker when you turn on the heat?
Look to the alt. belt. It may squeal under load.
How do you fix rear brakes locking up Toyota hilux?
Check the LPV (Load proportioning valve), if fitted. It controls the amount of rear vs front braking under "heavy" loads, if faulty it will cause rear lock up. Another thing to check is that front brakes have been bled, and the front brake circuit is working at all.
Why hydraulic brakes invented?
Hydraulic brakes were invented to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of braking systems in vehicles. By using hydraulic fluid to transmit force, these brakes allow for greater stopping power with less physical effort compared to traditional mechanical brakes. The hydraulic system also provides more consistent and reliable braking performance, especially under varying conditions. This innovation significantly enhanced vehicle safety and performance, leading to widespread adoption in automobiles and other machinery.
Why are disc brakes vented?
Vented disc brakes have internal channels that allow for better heat dissipation during braking. This design helps to prevent brake fade, which can occur when excessive heat builds up, reducing braking efficiency. The ventilation also improves airflow, allowing for quicker cooling and maintaining optimal braking performance under heavy use. Overall, vented discs enhance safety and reliability in various driving conditions.
Several factors can cause tire failure including under inflation hard braking and?
I would add overload, and collisions.
What would cause a dodge Dakota to stall under braking?
if it is automatic then this would be caused by shift down is not working in transmission
Why does your 2001 VW golf 16C make a high pitched squealing noise for 2 seconds when you pull away under load and its not the brakes?
Did you check your drive belts. If they are loose they will slip and give off a high pitched sqeal.
