Dually disc brake kit

Description:

Drum brakes, disc brakes, and parking brakes are the main categories of brake systems used in today's cars. They are vital to the safe operation of a car, and if they fail, it is best to seek a mechanic immediately. Understanding how a vehicle's breaks work can help assess repair costs and prevent problems in the future. A disc brake system is placed on the front two wheels of a vehicle and is maintained by using the Dually disc brake kit. Disc brakes are the most commonly used system because they are more effective with stopping heavier cars. Calipers are the main component of this system. The other components include the pads and the rotor. The caliper holds the caliper piston and the brake pads. When the driver applies the brake, the caliper squeezes the brake pads against the rotor, which is what actually stops the motion of the wheels. The rotor houses the wheel, and it is placed between the brake pads. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Dually disc brake kit
  • Drum brakes, disc brakes, and parking brakes are
    the main categories of brake systems used in
    today's cars. They are vital to the safe
    operation of a car, and if they fail, it is best
    to seek a mechanic immediately. Understanding how
    a vehicle's breaks work can help assess repair
    costs and prevent problems in the future.
  • A disc brake system is placed on the front two
    wheels of a vehicle and is maintained by using
    the Dually disc brake kit. Disc brakes are the
    most commonly used system because they are more
    effective with stopping heavier cars. Calipers
    are the main component of this system. The other
    components include the pads and the rotor. The
    caliper holds the caliper piston and the brake
    pads. When the driver applies the brake, the
    caliper squeezes the brake pads against the
    rotor, which is what actually stops the motion of
    the wheels. The rotor houses the wheel, and it is
    placed between the brake pads.

  • Drum brakes work using the same principle as disc
    brakes shoes or pads press against a spinning
    surface. However, instead of clamping down on the
    spinning drums, the shoes move outward and make a
    wedge against the drum to stop the wheels. This
    brake system is placed on the back wheels, and
    its configuration works well with the parking
    brake system, which is also placed on the rear
    wheels. Drum brakes use additional parts
    including springs to hold the shoes away from the
    drum. When the brake pedal is depressed, the
    pistons push the shoes out to create the wedge.
  • There is also a brake adjuster attached to the
    shoes and the piston, which keeps the shoes close
    to the drum. The design of this system allows for
    an emergency brake cable to be applied to the
    back wheels. The cable is attached to the shoes,
    so that when a lever is pulled it forces the
    shoes to wedge against the drum. Although the
    most common repair is changing the shoes brake
    repairs to the rear wheels are rare.

  • When disc brakes fail, it is commonly because the
    pads need replacement or repair using the dually
    disc brake kit. As the pads press down on the
    rotor, there may be a squeaking sound, which
    indicates that the pads have become too thin.
    Occasionally, the brake caliper will stick, or
    become bent, which will require replacing the
    caliper. The caliper may also be the culprit if
    in order to stop the vehicle the brake pedal
    requires extra force.
