Your car, SUV, van, or pickup can be equipped with one of two braking systems: disc brakes or drum brakes. Both have master brake cylinders, pistons, brake hoses, and brake lines.
The Differences Between The Two Brake Systems
In a drum brake system, the brake fluid forces the drum and shoe to fasten together to create the friction that slows your vehicle.
A disc brake system uses more parts. The pressure of the fluid makes the brake calipers close brake pads onto the brake rotors.
Eventually, brakes can go bad thanks to the heat and pressure involved in the braking process.
How to Spot Brake Problems
Signs of brake failure include:
- Vibrating or bouncing brake pedal
- Your vehicle pulls to the side as you brake
- Your brake pedal feels unusually squishy or soft
- There are squealing, squeaking, or grinding noises when you brake
- Your dashboard warning light comes on
