Consequences of front wheel lock-up: The vehicle will lose steering ability, making it unable to turn or avoid obstacles or pedestrians; on roads with asymmetric adhesion coefficients, the car will lose straight-line driving stability, leading to dangerous phenomena such as skidding, fishtailing, and sudden turns; wheel lock-up causes partial tire dragging on the ground, significantly reducing the tire's service life. Wheel lock-up generally refers to a situation where the vehicle is parked, resulting in static wheel lock-up, preventing the car from moving normally. If the wheels lock up, try releasing the brake pedal to restore normal operation. Wheel lock-up causes the wheels to lose the ability to resist lateral forces, making the vehicle prone to skidding or losing control, which is extremely dangerous. If the car does not have an ABS system, wheel lock-up may occur during braking. If the ABS sensor fails, the tires may also lock up during braking. There are many reasons for wheel lock-up, primarily due to faults in the car's braking system. In such cases, it is advisable to have the car inspected at a 4S shop to avoid potential hazards while driving. During braking, tires experience two types of friction: rolling friction and sliding friction. Compared to rolling friction, sliding friction has a higher coefficient. When the tires are close to locking up, the braking efficiency is higher. If the front wheels lock up, the car may lose steering ability while driving. If the rear wheels lock up, the car may skid, and in severe cases, it could even roll over.
