BRAKE PARTS

The brakes on a car allow the vehicle to slow down and eventually come to a full stop.

Braking is possible thanks to the brake pads, which are located into the calipers and which are pressed onto the brake discs. Disc brakes are generally located at the front.

At the rear however, most cars have drum brakes. Drum brakes work with brake lining which is fitted into the brake drum. The wheel brake cylinder is the car parts which allows the brake fluid to press the brake shoes against the drums.
