PULL
The car pulls to one
side when the brakes
are applied.

 GRAB
"Touchy" brakes
grab with the least
pedal pressure.

 DRAG
Sticking brakes, hot
wheels or an apparent
engine power loss are
all signs of drag.		 SQUEAL
Excessive squeal,
screech, grinding,
groaning, chatter,
clatter or bang,
means your brakes
need attention.
LOW PEDAL
The pedal nearly touches
the floorboard before the
brakes function.

 HARD PEDAL
Extreme foot pressure is
equired to make the
brakes function.

 VIBRATION
The brake pedal,
steering wheel, or the
entire vehicle shakes,
vibrates or pulsates.		 BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
The parking brake is on,
or, there is a serious drop
in hydraulic pressure.


The Basics of Brake Hardware
Drum Brakes and Disc Brakes are the two basic types of braking systems. Both stop the car by forcing a high friction material against iron drums or discs attached to the wheels.
