What are the reasons for ineffective braking when reversing?
1 Answers
Reasons for ineffective braking when reversing: Excessive wear of brake pads: Brake pads have a service life. Once they are excessively worn, they should be replaced in time. Otherwise, it can easily lead to ineffective braking and may also affect the brake discs. In severe cases, it can cause damage to the braking system. Deterioration of brake fluid: Brake fluid, commonly known as brake oil, absorbs moisture from the air during long-term use, which lowers its boiling point. When the boiling point drops significantly, it can affect the vehicle's braking performance, resulting in ineffective braking. Therefore, brake fluid needs to be replaced regularly. Newly replaced brake pads: Newly replaced brake pads have not yet properly broken in with the vehicle, so they may initially cause ineffective braking. New brake pads also require a certain break-in period to maximize their braking effectiveness.
