• Remotely to the brake pedal

• on the inner wing

• directly to the brake pedal

• on the front panel

Brake pedal will feel spongy and have excessive travel if

• The handbrake needs adjustment

• The vacuum servo is faulty

• there is air in the brake system

• the brake pads are excessively worn

An increase of braking distance can be caused by:

• worn shock absorbers

• worn crown wheel

• worn clutch mechanism

• worn gear change

ABS operates by?

• To provide breaking force to lock only one wheel

• To provide enough breaking force to lock all wheels

• Providing only enough pressing force to each wheel to avoid locking

• To provide only enough breaking force to lock the rear wheels

When fitting new brake caliper is or other major break parts it is good practice to

• Replace the brake fluid

• Replace the clutch

• Install new brake hoses

• Remove the air from the system

In order to stop safely, even if there was a serious fluid leak from a hose, cars are fitted with

Which brake shoe will wear faster?

• Trailing shoe

• Leading shoe

What are these components from the rear brakes?

• Compensators

• Return Springs

• Leading shoe

• Adjusters

What are the advantages of disc brakes

• Improved heat dissipation

• Self adjusting

• Pedal travel not affected by temperature

• better stopping power
