Is Car Brake Maintenance Necessary?
1 Answers
Car brake maintenance is necessary. Whether a car is driving at high or low speeds, the proper functioning of the brake system has a significant impact on the safety of the driver, passengers, other vehicles on the road, and pedestrians. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. The working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the car. Causes of brake failure include: 1. Impurities in the master cylinder or poor sealing; 2. Failure of the vacuum booster pump; 3. Dirty brake fluid; 4. Leakage in the master cylinder or wheel cylinder; 5. Air leakage from the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 6. Severe overloading; 7. Carbonization of the brake drum; 8. Insufficient brake fluid in the master cylinder; 9. Wear of the master cylinder piston.
