What Are The Two Types of Automotive Brake Systems?
Drum Brakes
Though far less common today than in years past, some vehicles -- such as work trucks and vans -- still employ a drum brake system. With this kind, a brake shoe clasps onto a brake drum attached to the inside of each wheel. That creates the friction needed to stop your vehicle.
Disc Brakes
With a disc brake system, brake calipers close brake pads onto brake rotors to generate that resistance.
How Do You Spot Brake Problems?
Signs of trouble include:
- Dash warning light comes on
- You need more time and distance to stop
- Squishy-feeling brake pedal
- You hear weird noises when you apply the brakes
- Pulling to one side when you brake
How Much Does It Cost To Replace Your Brakes?
