For most of their length, brake lines are ________, coated to resist corrosion, and attached to the body with clips or brackets to minimize damage from vibration.

Tech A says that the metering valve controls pressure to the rear brakes. Tech B says that the proportioning valve controls pressure to the front brakes. Who is correct?

The brake pedal uses leverage:

Technician A says that applying too much braking force can cause tires to lose traction. Technician B says that ABS systems have helped to reduce the number of vehicle accidents each year. Who is correct?

The hydraulic-assisted power booster operates between the brake pedal and the master cylinder.

Because water boils at a lower temperature than brake fluid, absorption of water into the braking system will gradually reduce the brake fluids boiling point, making the fluid more likely to boil and cause a hydraulic braking failure.

The vacuum-assisted power booster uses the difference between engine vacuum and atmospheric pressure to ______ the force that acts on the master cylinder pistons.

Standard brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it __________.

Disc brake pads consist of friction material ________ or _________ onto a steel backing plate (disc brakes).
