How car braking system work?
I have a question about how does car/van stop while applying brake.
I have ford freestar which have 4 disc brake system.
It run only with two front wheel which are connected to transmission or engine.
So my question is when I apply the brake pedal, the brake are apply only on front 2 wheels or also on rear wheel?
No
The brakes are applied to all four wheels. Which wheels are driven doesn't matter; it's been the same for the last hundred years or so.
If it's disc brakes, there's a disk right behind each wheel and a caliper for that disc that has lines running up to maybe a proportional valve and then the master cylinder.
The basics are: when you apply pressure to the brake pedal, fluid will cause the brake parts to expand and press against the disc pads or the drum shoes; that will stop the vehicle… If you want detailed info, message me
All four wheels brake the front start first, as you apply the brakes harder, the rear start braking.
Which wheels are driven makes no difference.
Brakes are applied to all 4 wheels.
The front wheels do most of the braking and thus tend to be larger than the rears
When you press the pedal the pads press on each disc causing friction. The friction causes the energy in your moving car to be changed into heat energy. The brakes are designed to quickly displace that heat to the air around them.
How about learning how to use your search box and ask "how does 4 wheel disc brakes work"? That way you'll likely find pictures or a video showing you how they work!
The brakes these days are hydraulic brakes which operate the disc brakes on each wheel when you push down on the brake pedal. These days the brake pedal is connected to a pressure booster unit that amplifies the pressure that your foot can supply and presses on a hydraulic cylinder that forces oil through thin pipes and hoses into the hydraulic slave cylinders on each wheel which pushes the disc brake pads against the brake disc causing the car to brake.
Brakes apply to all 4 wheels, rears grab first then fronts( by a split second).
- Will light switch for a 56 ford work on a 55 ford when converting 6 volt to 12 volt system? Can someone give their advice on converting from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system? Will a 56 Ford light switch work?
- Which exhaust/exhaust system would work best for my car? I own a 1970 Ford Torino (Brougham) with a 351 Cleveland engine running on stock exhaust. I want to upgrade the exhaust (I'm thinking Flowmaster) but like, does the whole exhaust system need to be done, or like half? I need your help making my baby roar lol. Please give me your best suggestions and approximate cost.
- What causes vibration and skidding tires while braking? I have a 1997 ford aerostar, and it runs beautifully. The only issue is the brakes. I had the brake lines, calipers and front left wheel bearing changed. The brake pedal goes down pretty far before activating the brakes, and a lot of times if i apply a little too much pressure they don't work and i just start skidding. Also, if i'm going fast and start slowing down the van vibrates pretty violently. What could cause this, and estimate how much to repair?
- What parts in an ABS braking system of a 2007 Ford Fusion is rubber or contains rubber? Must know what to buy and replace? I have a contamination of transmission fluid inside my brake fluid reservoir. I know, very bad mistake. I understand what this type of fluid will do to rubber and I need to know the parts of the system I need to buy and replace.
