What does braking distance mean?
Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop.
When the brakes are applied a vibration comes from the front of a vehicle with a disc drum system what could be the cause?
brake caliber
What could be wrong with a 1997 Dodge Neon that the oil light comes on in when the brakes are applied?
did you check the oil level yet?
Do trailer brakes automatically lock when the air lines have been disconnected?
Air pressure within the air braking system of a tractor-trailer (or large truck) is what prevents the brakes from being applied. The pressure of the air pushes back a large spring at each wheel. The large spring will apply the brakes when there is no pressure in the system. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, air is released out of the system and the brakes are applied. When the driver's foot comes off the brake pedal, air is quickly pumped back into the system and the brakes are released. Disconnecting the air line has the same effect on the trailer's brakes. Air is released from the system, and the brakes are applied. It is not the brakes themselves that lock. Application of the brakes causes the wheels to lock.
What is braking and braking distances?
Braking in a moving vehicle is applying the brakes to slow or halt movement, usually by depressing a pedal. The braking distance is the distance between the time the brakes are applied and the time the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
What do you do if the brake light in your car comes on?
Check that the hand brake is not applied. Check the conditions of your brakes like the drums check if there any grooves or are hot to the touch. If you feel any grooves replaces brakes and lathe the drums or replace the drums aswell.
What happens when a front differential leaks How will it fail and what are the likely outcomes?
Noise comes from rear brakes when they are applied. The breaking distance is also extended those are some of the notable consequences.

How do you know when your brakes are bad?
Several things to watch for. Your brakes will sometimes start to stutter or pulse as you apply them. Occasionally you will hear a noise like a grinding or a squeal. With any luck, it'll be the pads wearing out before the rotors get damaged, but that''s not the way things usually happen. People have a tendency to let things go until more work is involved. If addressed soon enough, most rotors can be turned and used again, If left too long without attention, you will need to replace the pads, the rotors, and sometimes even the calipers, so...best to take care of things as soon as you can.
What determines the stopping distance?
Stopping distance as in braking distance: Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point where the brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is affected by the original speed of the vehicle, the type of brake system in use, the reaction time of the driver/rider and the cefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface.
Are Anti lock brakes the same as conventional brakes?
Anti lock brakes contain a spin sensor in each wheel.When the sensor detects that brakes are still applied and the wheels are skidding a valve opens and lowers the brake pad pressure until wheel spin is detected again. This process is repeated until the car comes to a halt in the shortest distance. The repetition rate of valve operation can be up to 30 times a second.
